Easter Chant
Hosanna ! Hosanna !
Hear the people cry.
Riding on a donkey
The King is passing by.
Riding to Jerusalem
Wave those palms and cheer -
Jesus the Messiah
The "promised one" is here.
Crucify ! Crucify !
Hear the people shout !
Tell governor Pilate
To bring Jesus out.
Crucify ! Crucify !
Hear the people cry -
"He claimed to be our king,
Now he must die !"
"Forgive them ! Forgive them !
They don't know what they do
I'm willing to die
On this cross for you.
I'm your king, Lord, Messiah.
It is finished ! I cry -
For your sins to be forgiven
God's Son must die "
He's risen ! He's risen !
See the joy on Mary's face.
She came to the tomb
And now she must race
To tell the disciples -
"We don't need to fear,
Jesus has been raised to life .
He's alive ! He's here ! "
