Lyrics
King Jesus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were once away like a wayward stray
You were first, but came in last
You were born to run like the prodigal son
But you went so far so fast
The abandoned child left all alone
You don't have to make it on your own
King Jesus has come to take you home
He's come for you
You were once abandoned
A distant land was once your residence
Then God sent His Son for wayward one
That might just be a friend
With a love this world has never know
With a power that rolled away the stone
King Jesus has come to take you home
He's come for you
(He's come)
He's a miracle waiting for us to happen (He's come)
He's atoning death giving his life away (He's come)
He's a miracle waiting for us to happen (He's come)
He's happening to me
He's happening to you
If you let it be true
Oh Jesus
Take us home
Home, home, home
Take us home if You will
You were once away like a wayward stray
You were first, but came in last
You were born to run like the prodigal son
But you went so far so fast
The abandoned child left all alone
You don't have to make it on your own
King Jesus has come to take you home
With a love this world has never know
With a power that rolled away the stone
King Jesus has come to take you home
