Hosanna by Hillsong



Great video clip, but what does the word "hosanna" mean?  Well, this word is a Hebrew word, which was transliterated to Greek, then to English.  Originally the word meant "save," "save please," or "please save!"  Basically it's a cry to God for help.  However, as the time went on, the meaning of the word changed to "salvation."  Basically it became a shout of hope and exultation. So it went from "save please" to "salvation" or "salvation has come!" So when it says "hosanna to the Son of David," it means "salvation belongs to the Son of David."  When it says "hosanna in the highest," it means "salvation has come in (through) the highest (Jesus)." YAY!!!
