Hymn to Christ the King

(Sarah Hart, Sarah Kroger, Ike Ndolo, Josh Blakesley)

Oh we were wandering in the dark
We had lost our hope and way
And we were restless in our hearts
How we needed to be saved
And so to rescue all your own
You sent to us your only son
A light to fall, a peace to bring
The coming of our Christ, the King

The word made flesh, the light from light
A cry that pierced our endless noise
A child to speak into our pain
Restoring unto us our joy
To teach our hearts and heal our wounds
Replace our doubt with heaven's truth
The broken, healed; the lost, redeemed
The beauty of our Christ, the King

Though heaven's glory he had shown
All our praises turned to scorn
The gift of mercy that he gave
We returned with cross and thorn
Yet to the end, he loved us still
Surrendered to the Father's will
Forgiveness was his offering
The mercy of our Christ, the King

And though they laid him in the tomb
In the silence of the grave
No stone could keep the love of God
From the ones he came to save
And so in power and radiant light
He vanquished death and rose to life
Now with the heavens I shall sing
The glory of our Christ the King
