Dc Talk The King (allelujah)
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)
