This is the blessed
season when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s a time to ponder
new beginnings and restorations. After all, that’s what the Resurrection is:
the chance for a life after this one. That’s an unbelievable gift, especially
considering the trauma that led up to that day of wonder.
I have
played the piano in my kids’ church for approximately nine years. I love it! I
decided to record a medley of two of my favorite children’s hymns in honor of
this special time.
Please keep
in mind that this is me in the video. I am not a
professional, although I have a modest talent. I am an amateur lover of music.
Therefore, any kind comments would be greatly appreciated.

Jesus has
risen, Jesus our friend.
Joy fills
our hearts; He lives again.
Praises we
sing to him, This Easter time.
Jesus has
risen, Savior divine.
Jesus has
risen, Savior divine.
Easter Hosanna
Words
and music: Vanja Y. Watkins ©1982 IRI
The
prophecies of long ago were now at last fulfilled.
When Jesus
risen from the dead, to man Himself revealed.
As he came
down from heav’n above, white-robed and glorified,
The people
of the promised land received their Lord and cried:
“Hosanna!
Blessed be the name of the Most High God!
Hosanna!
Blessed be the name of the Most High God!”
`
My Conclusion
“Hosanna” is a variation of a word found in
the Hebrew, Latin, and Aramaic languages. According to Strong’s Concordance,
and other sources, it can be translated in the following ways:
“Save, I pray.”
“Please save.”
“Oh, save now.”
“Save, we pray.”
“Rescue, Savior”
“Help”
Easter is a
time of celebrating how the Resurrection of Jesus rescued us from death. That
deserves praise!
How have you shown thanks for Jesus’
sacrifice?
