Lyrics - The King (allelujah) by Dc Talk

John the
Baptist prophesied a
Messiah will rise
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
Years later in the city of
David
A miracle of
God gave a virgin a babe
Kinds came from afar, followed a star
To worship baby
Jesus who was born in a barn
He brings peace on earth,
His mercy is mild
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
It's the story of my
Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, let it move ya,
Christ is king(
Chorus)
Allelujah
Christ is the king
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
Allelujah
He stood before
Pilate an innocent man
They cried "
Crucify," he supplied demand
He was mocked, spit upon,
He clothes were torn
Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns
They placed
Him in a robe, gave
Him a staff
As they gambled for
His garments
Roman soldiers laughed
Upon
Golgotha they crucified
Christ
Sent from above to cold pay your price
On
His command opposition was through
But
Christ said, "
Forgive them, the know not what they do"(
Repeat
Chorus)
Now
Mary ran toward the tomb of her
Messiah and
Lord
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
She took one step inside, filled with fright
She thought a thief must have stole
His body late in the night
As she fell to the ground, she began to week
Heard a voice and turned to hear the
Savior speak
Christ the
Messiah risen up from the dead"
He's alive," she cried, like the prophesy read
It's the story of my
Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah
Christ is king(
Repeat
Chorus)
