So long, Moses
Hello, Promised Land
It was a long, long road
But your people are home
So long, Moses
Hello, Joshua
Goodbye, Canaanites
We're coming to town
Twelve tribes and no crown
No crown, Oh Lord
We want a king on a throne
Full of power, with a sword in his fist
Will there ever be, ever be a king like this?
Hello, Saul
First king of Israel
You were foolish and strong
So you didn't last long
Goodbye, Saul
Hail, King David
Shepherd from Bethlehem
Set the temple of God
In mighty Jerusalem
You were a king on a throne
Full of power, with a sword in his fist
Has there ever been, ever been a king like this?
Full of wisdom, full of strength, the hearts of the people are his
Hear, O Israel, was ever there a king like this?
Hello, prophets
The kingdom is broken now
The people of God
Have been scattered abroad
How long, O Lord?
So speak, Isaiah
Prophet of Judah
Can you tell of the One
This king who's going to come
Will he be a king on a throne
Full of power with a sword in his fist?
Prophet, tell us will there be another king like this?
Full of wisdom, full of strength,
The hearts of the people are his
Prophet, tell us will there be
another king like this?
"He'll bear no beauty or glory
Rejected, despised
A man of such sorrow
We'll cover our eyes
He'll take up our sickness
Carry our tears
For his people
He will be pierced
He'll be crushed for our evils
Our punishment feel
By his wounds
We will be healed."
"From you, O Bethlehem
Small among Judah
A ruler will come
Ancient and strong."
