How Many Kings

This is quite possibly my new favorite Christmas song...although I don't think anything can ever top O Holy Night.

How Many Kings
by Downhere

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 shall
Just a child, is this 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?

And 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 to 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 what 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?

And 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.
