Save Us

 Today we start worship with:

John 12:13

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”

This verse, written in Greek, contains the spontaneous shout in Hebrew from the crowd, "Hosanna" (hōsanna).  

That, in turn, comes from two words, "save" (yāša) and "we pray" nā'.

It is a short, submissive, respectful prayer.  Another example would be when Moses asked God:

Exodus 33:18

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”

Amen, may it be so.
