Hosanna to Crucify

from Transitions & Reflections by Bryan Odeen

/

lyrics

He entered on a colt, covered up with cloaks
The road before him paved with palms
Then holy shouts were raised, singing words of praise
Nothing could drown out the sacred sound
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

But that was days ago and now the empire knows
That Jesus Christ cannot be bought
The jury felt convicted and as the cross was lifted
Still hearing cries they cast their lots
Crucify the traitor
They crucified the Savior

Not so long ago we heard "Hosanna in the highest"
Today the shouts are "Crucify"
If there's hope for even them
There's hope for you and I
Between hosanna and crucify

If they could shout out both, curses and their hopes
Then you can see we all belong
The words that Jesus spoke while he gave up his soul
Forgive them Father all their wrongs
These words are yours
Before you were born

If there's anything to know from this week's to-and-fro
It's that our lives have consequence
Our hope is not in lives perfectly comprised
But in the Christ who died and rose again
