Hosanna / For Those Who Are To Come

Hillsong Worship's 'Hosanna / For Those Who Are To Come' is a powerful anthem that combines themes of divine glory, repentance, and a call to action for future generations. The song opens with vivid imagery of the 'king of glory' arriving with fire, symbolizing a divine presence that shakes the earth. This sets the stage for a message of redemption, as the lyrics speak of love and mercy washing away sin, prompting the people to sing 'Hosanna,' a term of adoration and praise.

The song then shifts focus to a new generation rising with 'selfless faith,' suggesting a revival driven by prayer and seeking divine guidance. This revival is not just a personal transformation but a collective movement, as the lyrics emphasize being 'on our knees,' a posture of humility and supplication. The repeated chorus of 'Hosanna in the highest' serves as both a declaration of worship and a rallying cry for this emerging generation to take their place in the spiritual landscape.

In the latter part of the song, there's a heartfelt plea for personal transformation: 'Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen.' This introspective moment calls for a deeper understanding of divine love and a commitment to align one's heart with what breaks God's heart. The song concludes with a vision of unity, where every generation, nation, tribe, and tongue will sing 'Hosanna' together. This unity is not just for the present but also for 'those who are to come,' emphasizing a legacy of faith and perseverance that transcends time.
