THANK GOD I KNOW THE KING

CHRISTMAS CAN BE A LONELY TIME
WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE KING
WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE CALL HIS NAME
AND IT DOESN’T MEAN A THING

YOU FIND A VOID AND EMPTINESS
WHERE HAPPINESS OUGHT TO BE
YOU'LL FIND IT ALWAYS JUST THIS WAY
WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE KING

ITS AT THIS SELFSAME TIME EACH YEAR
THE WORLD BEGINS TO SING
ALL PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY
TO JESUS CHRIST THE KING

WHO IS THIS KING THEY SING ABOUT ?
WHY MAKE THE CHURCH BELLS RING
I USED TO WONDER THAT VERY THING
BEFORE I MET THE KING

WE SEE HIM NOW A LITTLE BABE
GOLD, MYRRH, FRANKINCENSE WE BRING
AND LAY THEM AT THE TINY FEET
OF JESUS CHRIST THE KING

THE WORLD WOULD ALWAYS HAVE HIM THUS
THE LITTLE BABE OF BETHLEHEM
THEY DO NOT SEE THE GLORIOUS CROSS
OR THE DEATH HE DIED FOR THEM

THE ANGELS SAID THAT CHRIST THE CHILD
WOULD BRING PEACE AND HARMONY
THEY ALSO SANG OF HIS MIGHTY REIGN
AS JESUS CHRIST THE KING !

REMEMBER MY FRIEND ON CHRISTMAS MORN
AS YOU HONOR THE DAY THIS CHILD WAS BORN
HE LIVES TO MAKE ALL SINNERS CLEAN !
TODAY HE'S JESUS CHRIST THE KING !

HE REIGNS IN POWER AND MAJESTY
FOREVER HIS NAME WE SING
WHEN HE COMES BACK ALL KNEES WILL BOW
TO JESUS CHRIST THE KING

HOW GLAD I AM I KNOW THE KING
HOW SWEET HIS PROMISES RING
AND ON THIS SPECIAL MORN I SING
THANK GOD ! I KNOW THE KING
