From Isaiah 64:
³ When you accomplished wonders beyond all our expectations;
when you came down, mountains quaked before you.
⁴ From ancient times,
no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any god but you
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him!

We wait
We stand and watch,
Calling our “Hosanna!” from among the crowd.
We fit in with the cheers
And worshipping ones.

Tomorrow
We go back to work
And it is life as usual…
Complaining
Grumbling
Questioning
Doubting
Fall asleep praying
Denying You.

Yet we come back to say again
“Hosanna!”

We need your love and grace
To walk Your road
Of love and sacrifice and self-offering,
Knowing we are dim reflections
Of what the rocks and trees and flowers shout…

“Hosanna!”
