Hosanna to the God of relentless love!
Hosanna to the God who faces into our failure for our freedom!
Hosanna to the One who is accused for our sins!
We remember the week that changed our eternity.
You allowed people to praise you
who within hours would crucify you.
You listened to “Hosanna, God Saves!”
and knew nobody would save you.
On these days of palms
communion
betraying kisses
and condemnation
we remember relentless love that was put on trial.
This week we bow and confess to our part in your crucifixion.
This Holy Week we remember the love we rejected.
On our way to Resurrection
we pause
we are silent
we remember
we confess
and with oceans of gratitude and awe
we worship the God who saves.
Hosanna to the God who saves us then, now and always! Hosanna!
