-Stronger-
Verse 1:
There is Love
That came for us
Humbled to a sinner’s cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious
Verse 2:
Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm
And through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me
Chorus:
You are stronger
You are stronger
Sin is broken
You have saved me
It is written
Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all
Verse 3:
No beginning and no end
You’re my hope and my defence
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross
Bridge:
So let Your Name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Dear heavenly father,
Thank you for what you have done on the cross. Today, i live again, renewed and reborn because you gave your life to set me free. I thank you for the times you comforted me and being there for me all the time. No man is capable of doing what you are capable of. Lord i thank you for your amazing grace. To you I give all praise. The hour has come, the hour of victory, the hour of decision. Let your people lift you up lord, we will come as one knocking on the doors of heaven. And you will come and move in us. You will stir up a heart of passion for you. Insanely strong is your love, insanely powerful is your might. I believe in the God who can move mountains!
I give my life to you and all that i have. Use me, use me as much as possible. I live to glorify you. Set me apart, set my mind and soul and my gaze fixed upon the mission you have given us. Fix my eyes upon the great commission and most importantly, you God. There is none like you and to you I give all my praises. In Jesus name, move in me. Amen.
-Hosanna-
I see the king of glory
Coming down with clouds of fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes.
I see his life and mercy
Washing over all our sins
The people sing
The people sing
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen.
As i walk from earth into
Eternity
"Hosanna" (Greek transcription: ὡσαννα, hōsanna) is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord![6] It is used in the same way in Christian Praise.
Overall, it seems that, "Hosanna," is a cry for salvation, while at the same time is a declaration of praise. Therefore, it may be derived that this plea for help is out of an agreeably positive connotation.
The old interpretation "Save, now!" which may be a popular etymology, is based on psalm 118:25 (Hebrew הושענא hOshEeah-nna).
The time is coming. The end of days. We all need to have the sense of urgency already. We need to have in mind God's direction for us, God's will. If his will is to eat, we eat. If his will is that we all die, we die. Simple. But his will is the Great commission, which requires each and every believer to work together to accomplish. Let not mine but your will be done.
God chose not to come down and show himself to the free world. God did not choose to drop a magical stone that reveals himself to the world. God did not move mount Everest to Africa. God chose to work through us, because he loves us and believes in us. God believes that his people can do what he has commissioned us to do. So let God's people stand together and praise him as one, worship him as one, and do the great commission as one. Let nothing stop us, not the power of the devil. Let nothing blind us, not the shadows of our sins.
Instead, let Christs' glory shine upon us, let his love overflow and engulf us. Let our eyes be fixed on the glory of God and his mission. Let us do this, just for once.
Father in Heaven,
I sense deep in my heart, a deep burden for the world and your mission. I sense so strongly that your people needs a new revival, a breakthrough. God reveal yourself to them as you have revealed yourself to me. The world does not require another Santa, not another elmo or Michael Jackson. The world needs you. You who is the true creator, you who makes all things happen. You who makes the impossible possible. So I pray today God, that you use your people. Open up their hearts to the things unseen! For you are God, there is none that compares to you!
Help me also, to pray and seek you each and every day. Help me to become the person you want me to be! For it is for love you came and died on the cross, for your amazing love i will live each and every day. Help me to live the vision. Help me to have a taste of what true christianity is like. I place full trust in you, thank you for what you have done. In jesus name i pray, Amen
