John the Baptist prophesied a Messiah will rise
|
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
|
Years later in the city of Dave
|
A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe
|
Kings came from afar, followed a star
|
To worship baby Jesus who was born in a barn
|
He brings peace on Earth, His mercy is mild
|
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
|
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
|
Allelujah, let it move ya, Christ is King
|
|
(chorus)
|
Allelujah
|
Christ is King
|
Allelujah
|
Let the praises ring
|
Allelujah
|
|
He stood before Pilot an innocent man
|
They cried "crucify," He supplied demand
|
He was mocked, spit upon, His clothes were torn
|
Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns
|
They placed Him in a robe, they gave Him a staff
|
As they gambled for His garments Roman soldiers laughed
|
Upon Golgotha they crucified Christ
|
Sent from above to cold pay your price
|
On His command opposition was through
|
But Christ said "Forgive them, they know not what they do"
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
Now Mary ran toward the tomb of her Messiah and Lord
|
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
|
She took one step inside, filled with fright
|
She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night
|
As she fell to the ground she began to weep
|
Heard a voice and turned to hear the Savior speak
|
Christ the Messiah risen up from the dead
|
"He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read
|
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
|
Allelujah, Christ is King
|
|
(repeat chorus)
