[Intro/chorus 1]
N.C D D
Hear the song of all Creation.
G D
Hosanna!
D D
Hear the stars and moon and sun say.
A
Hosanna!
D D
Listen to the ocean waves,
G Em
And hear what the thunder says,
D A D
Hosanna to the King of kings!
[Verse 1]
D
Hear the echo of the noise,
G D
As Jesus sets out to destroy,
G
And cast out all the merchants
D
From the Holy Place.
See the anger in His eyes,
G D
But then look close and realize,
A D
There is still a light upon His face!
[Chorus 2]
D
Can't you keep these children quiet?
G
Hosanna!
D
This is no place for a riot.
A
Hosanna!
D
If you try to quell these girls and boys,
G
The very rocks will shout for joy!
D A D
Hosanna to the King of kings!
[Verse 2]
D
As the courtyard settles down,
G D
The children gather all around
G
To thank the one who gave them back
D A
Their place to pray.
D
But soon their hearts are overcome,
G Em
They start to shout for joy and run
D A D
To sing and leap and laugh and say,
[Chorus 2]
D
Can't you keep these children quiet?
G
Hosanna!
D
This is no place for a riot.
A D
Hosanna!
D
If you try to quell these girls and boys,
G Em
The very rocks will shout for joy!
D A
Hosanna to the King!
D A
Hosanna to the King!
D A D
Hosanna to the King of kings!
