V1
Each day inside the temple
With sacrifices made
They prophesied Messiah
would come to rule and reign
Jehovah had been silent
400 years had passed
And not a word was spoken
The heavens were as brass
V2
But streets would soon be busy
merchants listen for the sound
Of oxen hooves and wagons
Arriving into town
And in the shops were workers
A census coming soon
Heaven was preparing
A King for Mary’s womb
Pre-C
But in the distant shadows
A song of hope and peace
Was whispered by God’s children
And those who still believed
Chorus
There is a King
He will bring peace
God has not forgotten us
There is a King
V3
And suddenly from Heaven
Just like the prophets told
A Babe was born in Bethlehem
for mankind to behold
The sky was filled with Angels
The stable filled with praise
And Mary held her baby Son,
The Ancient of All Days
Pre-C
Then from a dusty stable
To a cruel rugged cross
The chosen one was crucified
But the song was never lost…
Chorus
There Is a King
He will bring peace
God has not forgotten us
There is a King
CH2
Jesus is King
He will bring peace
God has not forgotten us.
Jesus is king
Prince of Peace
Jesus is King
BR
2000 years have passed
Since Jesus left this earth
He left us with the gift of peace
And a promise to return
CH
There is a king
He will bring peace
God has not forgotten us
There is a king
CH2
Jesus is King
He will bring peace
God has not forgotten us.
Jesus is king.
