Birth of a King Lyrics

And there were shepherds abiding in the fields nearby

Keeping watch over their flocks at night

Between Four and Seven B.C. God stretched out His hand

To put into motion His perfect redemption plan

In the land of Judea, during Roman antiquity

Right near the time of the Herodian Dynasty

For Caesar decreed a census to be done

So citizens would return to the town that they're from

A young Nazarene girl with a soon to be groom

Was told the Son of The Most High was asleep in her womb

Still a virgin too, but found favor with God

An angel even told her what she was to name her Son

Her belly grew some and her fiancée felt betrayed

Thinking to himself: Mary, why'd you have to go astray

She brought too much shame to break up our monogamy

Only thing to do is to divorce Mary quietly

But an angel came at night silently and said it'll be okay

So they packed up their belongings and went on their way

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

Now a sign came in the sky only the wisest can read

Illuminate the night sky with God's promise to keep

An astrological anomaly and celestial alignment

Could possibly be the prophetic sign of The Messiah

From Babylon to Persia saw His Star in the East

So the priests journeyed to this Child born King above Kings

But what gifts should they bring since they traverse afar

So they got a little gold, frankincense and some myrrh

See the journey was long, through fields and fountains

Across a vast desert and more than just mountains

Their journey surmounted at Jerusalem's gates

Just to catch a glimpse of The Christ Child posthaste

However, Herod the Great was troubled after the news

For power corrupted this puppet King of the Jews

But as prophecy moves, fulfilled through all of the skies

Oh come, Emmanuel, upon this Earth to reside

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

Now, whose child is this that shall bring comfort to rest

A compassionate shepherd that shall comfort the rest

See the world's still a mess but hope was born in a stable

He lit the way to truth so Come all ye Faithful

Away in a Manger laid a lamb for us all

A message to the heart that we Passover to God

Hark, the Harold angels sing to shepherds in fields

Faith hope and prophecy combined in Israel

He came upon a midnight clear, an infant so lowly

God's gift within a grotto came an infant so holy

Adopted to the lineage of David the King

On Earth as it is in heaven when them angels sing

Glory to the new born king and Joy to the World

The fruit of a virgin's womb and blessed over girls

So there the baby lay asleep in the light

The Messiah and the Savior now combined as The Christ

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

As kings and queens have their land they reside

And Magi gaze at the stars in the sky

Shepherds keep watch over their flocks at night

There's a birth of a King in Bethlehem tonight

Fear not, for behold

I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all people

For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord

And this shall be a sign unto you

you shall find the child wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in a manger

Glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace and good will towards all
