Andrew Peterson - Hosanna lyrics

I am tangled up in contradiction I am strangled by my own two hands I am hunted by the hounds of addiction Hosanna! 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 loved me Hosanna! 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! 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 I have nursed the beast that bays for my blood Oh, I have run from the one who would save me Save me, Hosanna! Hosanna! O Hosanna! See the long awaited king Come to set his people free We cry O Hosanna! Won't ya tear the temple down Raise it up on holy ground Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! We cry for blood And we take your life Hosanna! We cry for blood And we take your life It is blood It is life that you have given 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 d**h at d**h's own game Hosanna! O Hosanna! Oh, 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 Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna O Hosanna! Hosanna
