This past sunday we introduced this song to our congregation. Our own Alex Kneen wrote this. She has written all of our advent readings for the last three years, several songs that we have used at Exodus during worship. Our people really engaged with this song. This Audio recording is pretty rough – but you’ll get the idea.
BEHOLD YOUR KING
By Alex Kneen
Rising like the morning sun
breaking through the dark
The mystery of the ages now unfolds
The light of revelation of the glory of the Father
Immanuel the Son of God is born!
Pre-chorus
From the highest angel to the poor, the meek and humble
All on whom the peace of God finds rest
O Raise your voices higher and exalt the Lord your Savior
In this gift the nations will be blessed
CHORUS
Behold your King, Behold your God
Sing hallelujah Christ has come!
Behold your King, Behold your God
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
VERSE 2
Born to us a helpless babe,
born to bear our sin
The King of kings and Lord of lords stepped down
To heal the sick and find the lost, bring good news to the poor
He came to die and then to rise and reign forever more
