The King

I saw heaven standing open there
And there before lay the one who is faithful and true
Born this day the christ of our age
His life bringing death to sin
Death to sin
This war on sin and death
Has seen its final breath
Our king has come to bring us life
Born in secret and not to fame
The greatest gift was hearing your name
Born of this day the christ of our age
The word becoming flesh and blood
The one messiah (full) of grace and truth
The angels singing glory and praise
This war on sin and death
Has seen its final breath
Our king has come to bring us life
The angels of heaven were singing his praise
For the messiah had come and in a manger he lays
You left your throne on high to live with this fallen race
To answer this age old cry "we need your grace! we need your grace!
Of the wicked redeemed, a need for a king
To seek and save the lost
Humbly you came to serve (humbly you came to serve)
This grace we do not deserve (this grace that we just could not afford)
To take on our sin, ye righteous and pure
You came knowing the full cost
The wise and meek had traveled with gifts of offering
But what could they give to the king of kings?
Death meeting defeat with a love that will not cease
Glory to the king who has brought our peace!
The light of life brings death to sin and offers up his grace
With meager cries exalt his name be heard by every race
All hail the king! all praise the son!
The prince of peace, the chosen one
The king above all kings!
All hail the king! all praise the son!
The prince of peace, the chosen one
The king above all kings!
