You once sat high on your throne in heaven Then you came to earth as a babe You once were laid in a lowly manger Then the wise men came where you lay You once grew up as an earthly son Yet you knew who your Father was You once were baptized by a fiery prophet Then the Spirit came like a dove You once taught masses about the love of God Then the masses cried crucify You once stood boldly against the leaders Then they said that you should die You once were beaten, bruised and crowned with thorns You once were nailed to a cross to die You once were stripped of your earthly garments You once gave up your own life and died You are the king eternal, and you always will be You are the Mighty creator of all things You are then Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end Yet once you came to earth die for every man You once were laid in a borrowed tomb You once were sealed behind a stone You once were captive in a tomb three days But it could not hold you, it could not keep you Then once the angel rolled the stone away Once you raised right out of that grave Now you’re back on your throne in heaven And you will come back to earth one day You are the king eternal, and you always will be You are the Mighty creator of all things You are then Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end Yet once you came to earth die for every man You once made water into wine More than once, you gave sight to the blind More than once, you raised the dead More than once, you made lepers cleansed More than once, you made dumb to talk More than once, you made deaf to hear More than once, you taught of God’s love More than once, you said look above Only once did you have to die Only once were you crucified Only once did you set me free For all eternity You are the king eternal, and you always will be You are the Mighty creator of all things You are then Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end Yet once you came to earth die for every man You are the king eternal, and you always will be You are the Mighty creator of all things You are then Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end Yet once you came to earth die for every man Once you raised right out of that grave Now you’re back on your throne in heaven And you will come back to earth one day
