KING OF THE JEWS

Verse 1
In a land so far away we had waited for the day that the God of all creation would appear,
In the heavens we saw a sign telling us it is the time,
Where is He that is born King of the Jews?
Chorus 1
Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have come to worship at His feet,
We have seen His star as we traveled from afar,
Where is He that is born King of the Jews?
Verse 2
Shepherds watching in the night, all around a holy light,
Angels telling of Emmanuel’s birth.
“Go to Bethlehem” they say, “There the Lord is born today,
Peace, goodwill to men upon the earth.”
Chorus 2
Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have come to worship at His feet,
We’ve come to find the babe in a lowly manger laid,
Where is He that is born King of the Jews?
Verse 3
And so it is today, the pure in heart still say,
“We have come to worship Christ the King.
Not with silver or with gold…costly perfumes as in days of old,
But with simple songs of worship that we sing.
Chorus 3
Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have come to worship at His feet,
In a world that’s lost it’s way, still we look for Him today,
Where is He that is born King of the Jews?
