Hosanna<\/strong><\/p>\nI remember Sunday morning when we found you that donkey for you to ride<\/p>\n
Hosanna, Hosanna<\/p>\n
I thought that maybe this would be the day you\u2019d tell the world you\u2019re king<\/p>\n
Hosanna<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe it when I heard so many people begin to cry<\/p>\n
Hosanna, Hosanna<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t understand why you would ever look so sad<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Within a week they took you away \u2013 Hosanna, yeah<\/p>\n
Though you\u2019re gone, still I try to say<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
With you all the way<\/p>\n
Teach me all your ways, Hosanna, yeah<\/p>\n
Jesus, all the way<\/span><\/p>\nTeach me all your ways, Hosanna, yeah<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard that they took you outside of the city to be crucified<\/span><\/p>\nHosanna, Hosanna<\/span><\/p>\nNailing you upon the cross they said, \u201cBehold your king\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nHosanna<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard about something that was said by a centurion who saw you die<\/p>\n
Hosanna, Hosanna<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cSurely this man was the son of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two thousand years since you went away \u2013 Hosanna, yeah<\/p>\n
Still you\u2019re gone and we try to say<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With you all the way<\/span><\/p>\nTeach me all your ways, Hosanna, yeah<\/span><\/p>\nJesus, all the way<\/span><\/p>\nTeach me all your ways, Hosanna, yeah<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I previously mentioned the possibility of doing a cheesy Christian version of Rosanna by Toto.
