One King - David Phelps

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

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 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 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 so many babies to become a king

Only one King, one King became a baby
