1 The Saviour of the World ( Luke 19. 36-44)

    

C   G/D   D   D7   G   C/G

   G                              B7              C

 See the Saviour of the World, He is coming,

               Am7/D          D7              G  Am7/G

   Riding humbly on a donkey into town.

G/Ab                                     B7                  C    

   See the joyful crowds all laying palms before him,

             G/D    D     D7    G      C/G   G

   On his way into Jerusalem.

 

Chorus

     G      C                   G       Am

   Hosanna (Hosanna) Hosanna (Hosanna)

    G        C                     G       D7       G

   Hosanna (Hosanna) Sanna- Hosanna (Sanna)

 

   G                                 B7                      C

 And the Scribes and Pharisees are standing watching,

                 Am7/D                D7                       G  Am7/G

   Hateful thoughts and accusations in their minds.

  G/Ab                                  B7               C   

 For the man now hailed ‘Messiah’ by the people,

           G/D    D     D7    G      C/G   G

Boldly rides into Jerusalem.

 

   G                            B7                  C

 And he looks upon his people with such longing,

            Am7/D                   D7                       G  Am7/G

 For he knows they’ll turn against him very soon.

   G/Ab                             B7                        C   

Death is calling him, just waiting round the corner,

           G/D       D     D7    G      C/G   G

Still he rides into Jerusalem.
