The Chosen One is a powerful Palm Sunday anthem written by Lee Black and Sue C. Smith. Arranged and orchestrated by Russell Mauldin, this SATB setting captures the excitement and wonder of the crowds as they welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem, crying “Hosanna, Hosanna!”
The song beautifully portrays the moment the people wondered if this was truly the long-awaited Messiah — the Chosen One sent by God to save the world. With its strong melody and meaningful lyrics, this anthem is ideal for Palm Sunday services and works well as part of your Holy Week journey leading into Easter.
The arrangement is accessible for church choirs while delivering an impactful worship moment. Resources include the full choral anthem, orchestrations, stems, rehearsal tracks, and multi-use tracks.
