Hosanna lyrics

 

Hosanna Song Lyrics


CROWD
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
Hey JC, JC won't you smile at me?
Sanna Hosanna
Hey Superstar
CAIAPHAS
Tell the rabble to be quiet, we anticipate a riot.
This common crowd, is much too loud.
Tell the mob who sing your song that they are fools and they are wrong.
They are a curse. They should disperse.
CROWD
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
Hey JC, JC you're alright by me
Sanna Hosanna
Hey Superstar
JESUS
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the shouting.
If every tongue were stilled
The noise would still continue.
The rocks and stone themselves would start to sing:
CROWD AND JESUS
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
CROWD (alone)
Hey JC, JC won't you fight for me?
Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar
JESUS
Sing me your songs,
But not for me alone.
Sing out for yourselves,
For you are bless-ed.
There is not one of you
Who can not win the kingdom.
The slow, the suffering,
The quick, the dead.
CROWD and JESUS
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
CROWD (alone)
Hey JC, JC won't you die for me?
Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar



About

May, 07th 2014

The song "Hosanna" from the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" is a complex piece that cobtrasts the public's adoration of Jesus with the concern and disapproval of the religious authorities. The song is set against a backdrop of a crowd praising Jesus, reflecting a mix of hope, expectation, and misunderstanding of his mission.

The crowd's repeated chants of "Hosanna" and "Hey Sanna Hosanna" signify their asmiration and high expectations of Jesus. The terms “Hey JC, JC won’t you smile at me?” and “Hey JC, JC you’re alright by me” depict a personal and almost casual connection they feel towards Jesus, addressing him with an endearing familiarity. This illustrates the public's perception of Jesus as a charismatic leader and a symbol of salvation, albeit with a limited understanding of his spiritual message.

Caiaphas, the high priest, expresses his concern over the crowd's enthusiasm. His lines, “Tell the rabble to be quiet, we anticipate a riot,” reveal the religious leaders' fear of Jesus' influence and the potential political repercussions. His instruction to disperse the crowd indicates an attempt to maintain control and prevent any upheaval.

Jesus' response to the situation is profoundly insightful. He recognizes that the crowd's fervor is unstoppable, suggesting that even if the people were silenced, the very stones would sing out. This metaphorically signifies the inevitable nature of his mission and the truth he represents.

Towards the end of the song, the crowd's adulation turns to demands and expectations, as seen in the lines “Hey JC, JC won’t you fight for me?” and “Hey JC, JC won’t you die for me?” These shifts in requests from the crowd indicate a misunderstanding of Jesus' purpose, expecting him to fulfill roles as a political liberator and martyr, which contrasts with his spiritual mission.

"Hosanna" effectively captures the dynamic interaction between Jesus, the crowd, and the religious authorities, highlighting themes of adoration, misunderstanding, and the tension between earthly expectations and spiritual purpose.
