Hosanna to Hallelujah
Geoff Stilwell & Alison Marr

   C   F       G   C
Jerusalem was jubilant
 F      C         G
People lined the way
    C     F      C  F
As Jesus rode a donkey
   C        G          C
Before him palms they lay
    F
"Hosanna!" they all shouted
         C               G
"Please help us Lord, today
 C            F
Liberate and save us
    C      G       C
Oh Jesus this we pray."

      C         F       G  C
The twelve sat down at table
       F          C        G
They shared the bread and wine
     C     F          C         F
And Jesus told them what would come,
       C         G    C
Said this would be a sign
      F
"But Master!" they all shouted
     C                G
"We could not betray you
 C             F
Nor deny You, nor forsake you
 C      G          C
We will all stay true."

 C    F       G   C
Later in Gethsemane
 F      C        G
Jesus knelt to pray
       C        F      C F
"This cup will not be taken
      C       G         C
Your will be done this day."
     F
But nothing did they utter
   C              G
Asleep upon the ground
C                   F
And when Jesus was taken
 C      G        C
No-one could be found

      C          F        G    C
The priests and soldiers took him
      F        C     G
They said the law allowed
      C      F      C   F
Blasphemers to be crucified
        C      G         C
Jesus stood before the crowd
   F
"Crucify!" they shouted
   C          G
"Crucify Him now!
  C           F
Free to us Barabbas
      C      G   C
This man we disavow."

   C       F       G        C
Jesus was nailed upon the cross
   F       C         G
A man so free from blame
     C      F       C     F
The son of God is dying there
     C     G          C
To free us all from shame
     F
And He cried out "Forgive them,
       C                 G
They know not what they do."
 C                       F
"It is finished now. My work is done.
   C     G       C
I can return to you."

     C     F        G    C
The women found an open tomb
 F     C               G
Jesus risen from the grave
     C       F        C      F
Our God had died in place of us
     C       G      C
His purpose for to save
       F
And we all shout "Hallelujah
     C           G
Let Hallelujahs ring
  C                   F
Praise to the Lord Almighty
     C      G      C
Our humble saving king."
