I hear a sound of hope
Rising up from the ashes
There's a new king in town
I hear a sound of hope
Rising up from the voices
There's a new king in town
Hosanna in the highest
In the highest
King Jesus
Hosanna in the highest
In the highest
King Jesus
I hear a sound of love
Pouring out from the people
There's a new king in town
Oh! It's a sound of joy
With reckless abandon
There's a new king in town
Hosanna in the highest
In the highest
King Jesus
Hosanna in the highest
In the highest
King Jesus
Will, bind up the broken-hearted
Carry children on his shoulders
Break through the darkness with a burst of radiant light
Fight for the fatherless and
Welcome home the wayward pilgrim
He's come to lead us in the way the truth and the life
He'll bind up the broken-hearted
Carry children on his shoulders
Break through the darkness with a burst of radiant light
Fight for the fatherless and
Welcome home the wayward pilgrim
He's come to lead us in the way the truth and the life
