The King
The King came unexpected on a dark and holy night
With shepherds in the fields, they all were filled with fright
When the angels came in glory, proclaimed the newborn King
Peace to all the world, the angels they would sing
Refrain
The world speaks of hatred
But the King tells us to love
In the world it’s signs of warfare
With the King, signs of the dove
In the world children suffer
In the kingdom children sing
So in this broken world
I’m listening to the King
The King he had no army yet people followed him
Healing bodies broken, forgiving people’s sin
He had no time for the rulers; with the poor he’d take his stand
To gather in the hurt and lost became his gracious plan
Refrain
The King would be rejected by those who feared the truth
How could he be God’s son, they demanded proof
They brought him before Pilate, to sentence him to death
They thought his rule was over with his final breath
Refrain
The King would wear a crown, though it was made of thorns
And on the cross he died amidst the cries of scorn
But the King would rise on Easter and he will come again
For his kingdom is eternal and his grace will never end
Refrain
Have a blessed New Year!
