Dominion Sound - Featuring The Lion And Lamb Ensemble
New Song:
[Verse 1]
I remember when I raised that flag
Hand on heart, I bowed my head
Spoke of God and country strong
Believed every word he said
He talked like thunder on the hill
Like justice rolling down
But somewhere in the shouting wind
Truth never made a sound
[Verse 2]
I saw the pride, I heard the scorn
The careless, cutting tongue
A man who’d wear the name of Christ
But mock what He has done
He courted saints with empty words
Held faith up like a shield
But power took the highest place
And truth was made to yield
[Chorus]
No crown of man will stand the fire
No throne outlasts the grave
You can drape a lie in liberty
But it won’t make a nation saved
We bowed to strength, we cheered for might
And called it righteous cause
But there’s no king but Jesus Christ
No law but His true laws
[Verse 3]
We came from those who crossed the sea
With covenant on their lips
They feared the Lord, they wrote it down
In ink from trembling grips
But we have traded sacred vows
For voices loud and proud
We kept the flag, but lost the fear
Of ever bowing down
[Verse 4]
They spoke of law, but bent the scales
They swore to guard the right
But truth was trimmed to fit the hour
And darkness dressed as light
A nation can’t be strong and free
When justice is for sale
The Judge of all sees every heart
No empire will prevail
[Chorus]
No crown of man will stand the fire
No throne outlasts the grave
You can wrap it up in stars and stripes
But it won’t make a sinner saved
We trusted men, we praised their name
We let our standards fall
But there’s no king but Jesus Christ
And He will judge us all
[Bridge – Spoken]
You can build your walls of iron
You can boast in wealth and war
But a house that stands on shifting sand
Won’t stand forevermore
Repent, oh land, remember Him
The One you once confessed
Or trade your crown for dust and ash
And lose what made you blessed
[Final Chorus]
No crown of man will stand the fire
No throne outlasts the grave
No power on this broken earth
Has ever died to save
So tear down idols, lift your eyes
Let every knee be bent
There’s only one true King of Kings
And He will not relent
[Outro]
No crown but Christ
No king but Him
