HOSANNA.

I have been chewing on the Spirit's whisper to start this blog for over one year now.I am starting with this photo I took on Palm Sunday. I am starting with the word, HOSANNA.
In the Hebrew it means "Save Us, Now!" It is a cry. It is a prayer. It is a groan. I lift my little palm branch up to the SON and I thank Him for drawing me up from the Pit of Destruction. I wave it and SHOUT because I need him to save me today by riding into my life and reminding me that He alone is the Servant King on the throne of my life; my heart.

The words from this song by Andrew Peterson are so important as I ponder the word HOSANNA.
I am tangled up in contradiction.
I am strangled by my own two hands.
I am hunted by the hounds of addiction.
Hosanna!
I have lied to everyone who trusts me.
I have tried to fall when I could stand.
I have only loved the ones who loves me.
Hosanna! O Hosanna!
See the long awaited king come to set his people free.
We cry O Hosanna!
Come and tear the temple down.
Raise it up on holy ground.
Hosanna!
I have struggled to remove this raiment, tried to hide every shimmering strand.
I contend with these ghosts and these hosts of bright angels.
Hosanna!
I have cursed the man that you have made me,
as I have nursed the beast that bays for my blood.
Oh, I have run from the one who would save me.
Save me, Hosanna! O Hosanna!
See the long awaited king, come to set his people free.
We cry O Hosanna!
Come and tear the temple down. Raise it up on holy ground.
Hosanna!
You have crushed beneath your heel the vile serpent.
You have carried to the grave the black stain.
You have torn apart the temple's holy curtain.
You have beaten Death at Death's own game.
Hosanna! O Hosanna!
Hail the long awaited king, come to set his people free.
We cry O Hosanna!
Won't you tear this temple down, raise it up on holy ground.
O Hosanna!
I will lift my voice and sing: you have come and washed me clean.
HOSANNA.
