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!
