As I was listening to this song, I remember a Bible verse that I often hear when I was still a new Christian. I heard several preachers spoke about this verse and it echoed as soon as I hear this song from Hillsong Live entitled Stronger. It’s actually a declaration. A prayer of faith in times of troubles, trials, and difficult times. This verse is found in Psalm 28 the 7th verse and it says: “The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.”

Hosanna in the Highest! (Hillsong Worship Song – Hosanna)
“Hosanna” is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!(Matthew 21:9) It is used in the same way in Christian praise.
Overall, it seems that “Hosanna” is a cry for salvation; while at the same time is a declaration of praise. Therefore, it may be derived that this plea for help is out of an agreeably positive connotation.

The lyrics are really good and it’s a declaration about our God. The chorus says: “You are worthy of all honor. All glory to your name. You alone deserve our highest praise. And Forever you will reign!”
