1.
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
2. 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 hurt and lost became his gracious plan
3. 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
4. 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
This Advent season, may we listen to the King. What
would the King have us do? What would the King have us be? May
we listen and then be willing to bend the knee.
Peace,
Pastor Summer
