He started in a manger filled with hay 
At death borrowed tomb is where He lay
He never owned a home
In ministry He roamed
Teaching of the truth, the life, the way.

 

He was the King who came to die

A minister of light and life

The masses followed Him

He eased their suffering

And told them words that opened up their eyes

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me

So we could know His love

 

The leaders of the day were mad

The words He shared they thought were bad

They sought to take His life

Against Him the conspired

They turned the crowd against Him and were glad

 

This King was beaten mercilessly

He carried His cross to Calvary

His feet and hands were nailed

The soldiers had prevailed

They crucified Him there upon that tree

 

The borrowed tomb became His grave

The guards had sealed the tomb and stayed

But death could not hold Him

Over the grave, He wins

Now eternal life is mine always

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me
