King of Life, King of Love
Look upon me, Lord,
And see a stubborn child
Repeat mistakes again and again.
Back to you I'll turn,
And then again away,
Yet somehow through it all your love won't end.
They say Jesus is the life,
The truth, and the way,
But I don't really know what all that means.
This little bit I know,
And it brings me faith and hope;
This much I understand, and I believe, that
CHORUS:
With your last breath, you gave me life,
With your spilt blood, you won my fight,
You dwelt in dark, to be the light
My Jesus, King of Life, King of Love.
Down to earth you came,
Born a mortal man.
With faith and love you healed and taught and led,
But the men were few
That realized you were king,
And so you were condemned to die instead.
And a crown of thorns
They placed upon your head,
And nails they pounded through your hands and feet,
But the nails were not
What held you on the cross;
It was your neverending love for me! And
[CHORUS]
They say Jesus is the life,
The truth, and the way,
And I'm starting to understand just what that means.
There's a fire inside my heart,
A sun inside my soul,
For Jesus is alive inside of me!
And with your last breath, you gave me life,
With your spilt blood, you won my fight,
You dwelt in dark, to be the light,
The champion of all that's right.
With your last breath, you gave me life,
With your spilt blood, you won my fight,
You dwelt in dark, to be the light,
The champion of all that's right.
My Jesus, King of Life, King of Love.
