Through the craziness of the holidays, its important to take time out to ponder this question- How many Kings? Christian band, Downhere, wrote this amazing song and we sang it tonight at Mid-Cities Bible Church Christmas Eve Service. As I sat with my parents & sister and surrounding us was my church family that I have known over my years as I come and go. It is a small group, but I can hear how they sing with their whole hearts. We praise the Savior that was born on that holy night to save the us from our sins. How many kings would do something like that for us? Just one.
"Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
It’s who we’ve waited for
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you"
-How Many Kings, Downhere
