So, there's a hillsongs song called Hosanna. You must have heard it...no? Here it is then.
In fact, just go right ahead and watch it anyway even if you know the song. It gives me goose bumps.
Around 3:19 in the video comes possibly the most poignant verse for me.
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
Let's face it, we've all had broken hearts at one time or another. But we're not designed to hang onto that hurt, we're designed to have our hearts filled with love for God. Only God can heal our hearts and clean it by His filling of our hearts.
I've had my heart healed in the past from so many hurts that I can't believe there was anything left of my heart to be healed.
By cleansing our hearts with His love God gives us an insight into 'everything else'. That something more than this.
I wonder if anyone remembers before they found God searching for that something more. I do. I remember laying propped up in a bed I hated because of the memories in a house I couldn't pay the rent on hoping against all hope that the door chain would keep out he who had a key but I didn't want to enter. I was searching, I knew there must be more. Deep down inside my heart, my poor shredded heart, I knew that there was a God who loved me whether I chose to believe in Him or not.
That small moment of making a conscious decision to try 'having a little bit of faith' led to me knowing a love like no other. I knew then that it didn't matter one iota what questions I still had outstanding, who am I to question one who can love me so unconditionally, so faithfully and comfort me without my ever having to prove myself worthy.
The line from this song that speaks the most to me is probably 'Break my heart for what breaks yours' following on with 'everything I am for your kingdom's cause'.
I've always been a fairly emphatic person within myself but find it very hard to be sympathetic. (I had to look up in the dictionary if those were the right words for what I wanted to say then!).
Here's an example of how my heart works. Everyone else might be the same, or I might be a complete anomaly, I don't know but if I tell you how I work, you can tell me how you work and then we'll know.
If I hear that someone's been hurt, my heart starts to ache. Physically ache.
My sister fell over in the street and no one stopped to help her up a few weeks ago. When she told me this I almost cried. My heart was painful, it felt oh so heavy inside me. I felt as sad as can be that she fell over and no one stopped to help her.
(p.s. sorry sister for telling everyone you fell over!)
I heard about a good friend of mine who had some money stolen from her bank account earlier this week. I've been in that position except with mine it was a pre-meditated attack from somebody I knew.
When I heard that this had happened to her my heart hurt so much I was clutching my chest. It genuinely hurts along with feeling sad. Is that normal? I was wracking my brains to think how I could help and encourage, I felt a bit panicked, I felt ill....but mostly, my heart was hurting.
(p.s. sorry friend for telling people about your situation)
I know the line of this song 'break my heart for what breaks yours' is us asking God to show us how to feel the compassion that He feels. It is asking for us to recognise where we should be focussing. That we can't just look at people in desperate situations and shrug our shoulders, we should be burdened with those people and trying to find ways we can help or make a difference.
I believe we should be wholeheartedly looking for ways to alleviate people's suffering be it through prayer, companionship or practical help.
I love that the next line goes on to confirm 'everything I am for your kingdom's cause' because after all, if my heart is broken for a mother unable to feed her child then I should put my EVERYTHING into doing something to fix that.
I'd just like to add a disclaimer that I don't think we should all go round starving ourselves because we've given all our food away. I just think that if we shared what we had, God would never leave us without enough.
Sometimes I struggle in our situation because of my heart hurting. On Thursday evenings at youth group I have to clutch the counter and get a grip on myself so as not to break down at the comments the young people come out with. The lifestyles they lead, the certainty with which they pronounce there's no point in trying for better and the armour that surrounds their young hearts.
But then I find it even more difficult to face the responsibilities of being a leader in a church. Of being someone in a position of authority that needs to be present at every meeting and has an obligation to be seen to be attending and getting my teaching.
I find it difficult to merge the two differences of my daily life. The life that reads the Bible in the morning while earnestly praying for the young lives that I can influence, the life that I spend hours of my days listening to teaching from all different churches while working and the second, upright leader in the church life where schedules and weekly meetings take precedence.
I guess it's impossible to be a hurty heart owner without doing your fair share of tidying, counting the money, giving lifts etc but I wouldn't mind so much if there were more heart hurty kinda people.
Sometimes it gets lonely feeling as though you're one of only a few really burdened for the people who live around your church.
Maybe what I should be praying for is to be a bit more practical and just to knuckle down and do things as it's been decided they are best.
*Sigh*
Anyway, I'll try to go where God leads me, ultimately no matter how many people I annoy by doing what I do and prioritising as I do, it's God I'll have to answer to and I want to be able to kneel in front of Him and say truthfully 'Everything I am for your kingdom's cause'.
Does your heart hurt?

If the Christian story is to be believed, then the end of Jesus\u2019s life wasn\u2019t really the end. What does it mean to be loved like this, with a lavishness that defies time and place and space? What does it mean to be loved like this, with a tender ferocity that can overcome our deepest fears and our greatest shortcomings and even the darkest grave?

I wonder if you know just how loved you are:
You who are tempted by silver as Judas was.
You who are overwhelmed by a sense of self-preservation as Peter was.
You who make questionable choices, as Pilate did.
You who tried to offer your wise counsel and words of warning, to no avail, like Pilate\u2019s wife.
You who, standing at the foot of the crosses that abound in our unjust world, cry out in sorrow, echoing Jesus\u2019s friends.
You who, amidst grief, busy yourself with burial spices as the Marys and Salome did.
You who have questions and doubts, much like Thomas.
You who, in times of confusion, just find yourself doing the thing you know how to do; the aftermath of a beloved friend and teacher\u2019s death might seem like an odd time to go fishing, but maybe those fishermen-disciples just needed something to do with their hands and their hours.
I love about experiencing music in a language that\u2019s foreign to me because there\u2019s an inherent invitation simply to feel it: Even when you don\u2019t know what the words say, you can often still sense something in the song. The first time I heard Hosanna, I felt a wistfulness, a plaintive longing. The cello didn\u2019t hurt; even though I grew up playing the violin, I\u2019m a sucker for cello, which always feels beautifully melancholy to me.
I really like David Crowder, and I appreciate him having made this wonderful song so popular, but when I first heard it on the radio I have to admit that I was dumbfounded. What??? Did the decency police decide it too dangerous to our safe and moral sensibilities?
The first worship song about loving others on our list is The Cause of Christ. These lyrics powerfully emphasize our need to love and serve others in the name of Jesus. They speak to our desire to be known for honoring Christ and living a life devoted to Him.
The final worship song about loving others on our list is Hosanna. The lyrics in this song express a desire to be transformed by love and to live a life that is dedicated to serving others. The singer asks for their heart to be healed and made clean, so that they can see the world with new eyes and learn how to love others as they have been loved by God.
As man and woman we were made
that love be found and life begun:
the likeness of the living God,
unique, yet called to live as one.
Through joy or sadness, calm or strife,
come, praise the love that gives us life.
The song Hosanna by Hillsong Worship is a powerful reminder of the love and mercy of our Lord. The lyrics speak of the King of glory coming down from the clouds with fire, and of his love and mercy washing over all our sin. It speaks of a generation rising up to take their place with selfless faith, and of a near revival stirring as we pray and seek.
The song Hosanna is a powerful reminder of the love and mercy of our Lord and of the importance of living a life of selfless faith. May we all seek Him in prayer and love like He has loved us.
How it can speak to you
I love the idea that music can be used didactically. I hope that individuals and families will play this song and discuss the rich theological ideas in the lyrics. Most of all, I hope those ideas move us from head knowledge to heart application! 006ab0faaa
