Stanza 1
Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, we turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You, we long for You
‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your Presence all our fears are washed away, washed away

Chorus:
Hosanna, hosanna
You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises
Hosanna, hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus

Stanza 2
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You, we turn to You
In Your Kingdom broken lives are made new, You make us new
‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your Presence all our fears are washed away, washed away

Chorus 2
Hosanna, hosanna
You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises
Hosanna, hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus

Key Bible verses for the lyrics (Paul Baloche’s “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)”):

• Hosanna / God who saves us → Matthew 21:9 – “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (also Mark 11:9-10; John 12:13; Psalm 118:25 – “Save us, we pray, O Lord!”)
• Turning to You / yearning for You → Psalm 42:1-2; Psalm 63:1 – Soul thirsts / longs for God.
• In Your presence fears washed away / strength → Psalm 16:11; Isaiah 41:10 – Joy in presence; strength from God.
• Broken lives made new → Revelation 21:5 – “Behold, I am making all things new.” (also 2 Corinthians 5:17)

Core: Triumphal entry praise (Matthew 21:9 etc.) + salvation plea (Psalm 118:25) + longing for God (Psalms).
