Royalty in rags, mounted on a borrowed donkey
The light of all mankind, God has made to shine upon me
Blessed is the one, coming in the name of God
And blessed is the one, whose gate is open wide

I don’t want to give up my riches or sin
As your holy ground
But surrendering now, I’m laying down
All that I have to sing

Hosanna, glory in the highest
Hosanna, light of God among us
These hands are emptied now and lifted
Hosanna, all that’s mine is yours

My loyalty is split: can I trust a man like this?
The boy from Nazareth: is he God or lunatic?
But blessed is the one, coming in the name of God
And blessed is the one, whose gate is open wide

I don’t want to give up my riches or sin
As your holy ground
But surrendering now, I’m laying down
All that I have to sing

Hosanna, glory in the highest
Hosanna, light of God among us
These hands are emptied now and lifted
Hosanna, all that’s mine is yours

Cause if I’m silent, stones will sing instead
And if I’m quiet, these bones will rot in death
Cause if I’m silent, stones will sing instead
And if I’m quiet, these bones will rot in death
