Their feet have walked upon my face
Day after day
Coming and going as they worship
Year after year
I’ve seen every step
Heard every teaching
Been stained by every war
And relished every triumph along the way
So today as he comes
Riding on the ass that helped carry him to Bethlehem
And they celebrate who they want him to be
I know how grave their mistake is in expecting a conquering king
This man they call Jesus
The same who I call Lord
Didn’t come to rule nations
Or to spill anyone else’s blood
No he’s here with a purer purpose
One he’s proclaimed with word and song
He’s here to free the slaves of sin
He’s here to break time with the salvation of all
So while humans expect a man
To wear their crown and wield their sword
We the rocks beneath wait with baited breath
For the King to take his throne
This week will bring the truth
This week will change time course
When this man they now call king
Soon will prove he’s worthy for only one true Crown
