Corinthians 15:3, 4 (KJV)
3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4
And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the
scriptures:
I
wanted to write a song that told the story of Jesus’ life (kind of like the
gospel in a nutshell). I entitled it The
King of Glory to emphasize all that He did/will do for us – He is our King!
Ps.
24:8-10 Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty
in battle. 9Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in! 10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of
hosts, He is the King of glory.
The
song starts with the chorus to briefly summarize what Jesus did for us, and
then repeats after every verse.
The
King of Glory
Chorus
From
the lowly manger in Bethlehem
To
the cross of Calvary
To
the right hand of the Father
He’s
the King of glory.
Leaving
the glories of Heaven,
To
earth He humbly came
Born
of the Virgin Mary,
The
Savior was His name.
Bearing
His cross to Calvary
For
our sins He took the blame
Submitting
to the Father’s will,
Lost
sinners to reclaim.
Bleeding,
bruised, and dying,
On
the cross He bore our shame
The
grave and death could not hold Him
O
praise His Holy Name.
His
work on earth now finished
To
His Heav’nly home He came
Waiting
in glorious splendor
His
Holy bride to claim.
