King

O lowly Son of Man,
O Wisdom from on High,
O sacrificial Lamb,
O humble Adonai:
Merciful One,
Word of the Father,
Precious Lord of my heart.

King of Calvary,
King of Jerusalem,
King of Israel,
King who'll come again.
King of all I see,
King of the unseen,
King enthroned in me,
King of Kings, I worship Thee.

No sceptre in Thy hand;
No bright, bejeweled crown;
No throne, no palace grand;
No princes bowing down.
Oh, but I know
The day is coming;
Yes, I can see it in my heart.

King of Calvary,
King of Jerusalem,
King of Israel,
King who'll come again.
King of all I see,
King of the unseen,
King, enthroned in me,
King of Kings, I worship Thee.

What are these thorns on Thy brow?
Why art Thou bleeding for me?
Humbly before Thee I bow,
O broken-hearted Majesty.

[instrumental interlude]

King of Calvary,
King of Jerusalem,
King of Israel,
King who'll come again.
King of all I see,
King of the unseen,
King, enthroned in me,
King of Kings, I worship Thee.
