Hillsong United's 'Hosanna' is a worship song that anticipates the return of Jesus as the King of glory, coming with power and fire. It celebrates His love and mercy that cleanse sin, and calls for a generation to rise with selfless faith. The lyrics express a desire for personal transformation, asking God to heal the heart, open eyes to spiritual realities, and align one's heart with God's own. The song also looks forward to revival and ends with the cry 'Hosanna in the highest,' a phrase from the Gospels welcoming Jesus as Messiah.

I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
Yeah
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
[Chorus]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
[Chorus x2]
Hosanna in the highest
