How Many Kings


Here are the lyrics for "How Many Kings" by Downhere. This song has really gripped my heart the last few days. May the Lord use it to speak to you about the gift of Jesus Christ.

"Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger

"Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?

Chorus:
"Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

"Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
It’s who we’ve waited for

Chorus:
"How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me

"All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you"

*Remember throughout this Christmas season that Jesus didn't stay in the manger. He came to give His life for us!
