One King

In the beginning there was the Word Pure love was spoken to reach every man They stopped and listened but all that they heard Was language that they could not understand No joy, no peace, no hope in sight So He came with starlight and love in His eyes No regal welcome for His infant cries There have been many babies to become a king But only one King became a baby He left behind His throne of pure light And gave up HIs crown that we might be free He chose a manger that Bethlehem night And reaching through time and space He saw me With no joy, no peace, no hoppe in sight So He came with starlight and love in His eyes No regal welcome for His infant cries There have been many babies to become a king But only one King became a baby He could have chosen to break through the sky With anthem and angel wing But He knew we'd understand a baby's cry And learn love from a servant King So He came with starlight and love in His eyes No regal welcome for His infant cries There have been many babies to become a king But only one King became a baby
