D.c. Talk - The King Lyrics
John the baptist prophesied a messiah will riseHe'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skiesYears later in the city of daveA miracle of god gave a virgin a babeKings came from afar, followed a starTo worship baby jesus who was born in a barnHe brings peace on earth, his mercy is mildGod and sinners reconciled through the birth of a childIt's the story of my savior, my reason to singAllelujah, let it move ya, christ is king(chorus)AllelujahChrist is kingAllelujahLet the praises ringAllelujahHe stood before pilot an innocent manThey cried "crucify," he supplied demandHe was mocked, spit upon, his clothes were tornRoyalty was represented with a crown of thornsThey placed him in a robe, they gave him a staffAs they gambled for his garments roman soldiers laughedUpon golgotha they crucified christSent from above to cold pay your priceOn his command opposition was throughBut christ said "forgive them, they know not what they do"(repeat chorus)Now mary ran toward the tomb of her messiah and lordShocked to find the rock removed that served as a doorShe took one step inside, filled with frightShe thought a thief must have stole his body late in the nightAs she fell to the ground she began to weepHeard a voice and turned to hear the savior speakChrist the messiah risen up from the dead"he's alive, she cried, like the prophecy readIt's the story of my savior, my reason to singAllelujah, christ is king(repeat chorus)
