Hosanna

Everlasting God / Brown
Hosanna / Fraser
You Are the One / Brewster
Colossians 1:15
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

The focus this week in the songs is the firm foundation of Christ. Some great words come out of “In Christ Alone” about the characteristics of this foundation.

1 Corinthians 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
        Hosanna is a new song for us and it came highly recommended by some of my fellow worship leaders. Hosanna means come save now, which brings a lot of meaning to the verses. The line that is constantly on my heart with this song is, “Break my heart for what breaks yours.” There are always certain words that we walk away with in songs and can be used by God to challenge our perspective of Him or our actions towards others.

        This is the essence of what it means to have a lifestyle of worship; these words can be used to develop devotional habits throughout the week.
