Hosanna to the Son of David
Matthew · Electro Trance
[Intro - hoofbeat pickup]
Loose the ass and the colt.
If any man ask: The Lord hath need of them.
The disciples went as Jesus commanded;
The road toward Jerusalem opened.
[Refrain - procession]
Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Garments underfoot, branches in the way,
Hosanna in the highest!
[Verse 1 - prophecy in motion]
Tell the daughter of Sion:
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and sitting upon an ass,
Upon a colt, the foal of an ass.
Before Him and behind Him the multitudes answered;
The city moved and asked, Who is this?
[Post-Chorus - answer]
This is Jesus the prophet,
Of Nazareth of Galilee.
[Breakdown - temple]
He entered the temple of God.
Tables of moneychangers overturned;
Seats of them that sold doves fell.
My house shall be called the house of prayer;
Ye have made it a den of thieves.
[Verse 2 - praise contested]
The blind and the lame came near in the temple;
He healed them there.
Chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things.
Children cried, Hosanna to the Son of David!
They were sore displeased.
Hearest Thou what these say?
[Refrain - children carry it]
Yea. Have ye never read?
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
Thou hast perfected praise.
Hosanna to the Son of David!
[Outro - road quiets]
He left them and went out of the city.
He lodged that night in Bethany.
