We Want A King!

We want a King!

The people said

Like everybody else

God’s not here

For us to see

We want to please ourselves

So……

The prophet was sent

To anoint a man

That would delight the crowd

He was tall…..good-looking…..

     …..with a noble brow…..

Humble starting out

Then pride became his crown

And all at once

He made the rules…..

     …..reframing commands to suit himself…..

If the prophet couldn’t

     ….get there on time…..

…..he would sacrifice…..

He made a name for himself

And called upon the dead

He lost his place, his crown, his life

The kingdom passed to another instead

God promised that a king

Would always come from David’s line

And tho’ it looked

Like all was lost

In a manger in due time

A tiny babe was born one night

From David’s descendants

Created by the breath of God

A savior had been sent

If king, it was, they wanted

Then king, He would supply

The King of Kings

And Lord of Lords

Had come to earth to die

His kingdom had been started

In the ages past

But would come to full fruition

In mankind’s heart at last

To enter into His kingdom

Your life you must lay down

Die and be resurrected

     …..receive a glorious crown…..

Then you’ll live forever

A joint heir with Him

Your mind cannot conceive

What He has in store for you

Repent and be baptized

So He can live in you!
