Hosanna
by Hillsong UNITED
Theology & Meaning
The song's chorus 'Hosanna in the highest' is the praise given to Jesus during the triumphal entry, acknowledging Him as Messiah and King. Its theology encompasses both worship and mission: recognizing God's glory filling the earth and desiring personal purification.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song works powerfully in youth services, prayer gatherings, or any setting longing for God's move. Its verses are contemplative and its bridge builds to high intensity - plan your dynamics accordingly.
Arrangement Tips
In the early verses, perhaps have just one voice leading to create intimacy, then invite full band and vocals by the time the chorus hits. Flow from the bridge into spontaneous prayer or a continued vamp.
