Thursday Tunes – wk. 5

As tomorrow is Christmas (Merry early Christmas, everyone!), I decided to dedicate this Thursday Tune to one of my all-time favorite new Christmas songs, “How Many Kings” by Downhere. (My other favorite new Christmas tune was blogged about by my mom on here.)

“How Many Kings” by Downhere

Verse 1:
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
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -
Just a child -
Is this who we've waited for? 'cause...

Chorus:
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Verse 2:
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 will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we've waited for?

Chorus:
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Only one did that for me.

All for me...
All for you...

Chorus:
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Only one did that for me.

All for me...
All for you...
