He Would Be King
by Gordon Mote

Album: The Star Still Shines

In a dark and musty stable she held her newborn son.
Exausted from the labor. Relieved he'd finally come.
Could she have known all the joy he would bring
Could she have known he would be king.

Her companion watched in silence with wonder on his face
That a miracle could happen
To a carpenter by trade.
Would he grow strong
Would he hear the hammers ring
Maybe one day he would be king

C. He would be king He would be king
He would be Lord of all the earth and everything
Shepards would quake
Angels would sing
He would be praised from age to age
He would be king.

So she tried to soothe his crying
With a tender lullaby
For the moment they would keep him
From the waiting world outside
Hallelujahs were already echoing
Praise to the child who would be king

C. He would be king He would be king
He would be Lord of all the earth and everything
Shepards would quake
Angels would sing
He would be praised from age to age
He would be king.

C. He would be king He would be king
He would be Lord of all the earth and everything
Shepards would bow
Angels would sing
He would be praised from age to age
He would be king.

He would be praised from age to age
He would be king.
