What They're Saying:
"I am tangled up in contradiction, I am strangled by my own two hands/I am hunted by the hounds of addiction/Hosanna!/I have lied to everyone who trusts me/I have tried to fall when I could stand/I have only loved the ones who loves me/Hosanna! … I have struggled to remove this raiment, tried to hide every shimmering strand/I contend with these ghosts and these hosts of bright angels/Hosanna!/I have cursed the man that you have made me, as I have nursed the beast that bays for my blood/Oh, I have run from the one who would save me/Save me, Hosanna!/O Hosanna! See the long awaited King, come to set his people free/We cry O Hosanna! Come and tear the temple down. Raise it up on holy ground. Hosanna!"

—Andrew Peterson's "Hosanna" (Hebrew for "save me"), from his new album Resurrection Letters, Volume II
