Be King

Be King

Be King

In the midst of the night

Be King

Be king

Make it as day light

The tile floor could not be colder

As he cries out “Lord, let me hold her”

Be King

Be King

When I am scraped raw

Be King

Be King

When I can’t hide what they saw

I crave forgiveness and grace

And healing to dry this face

**

You promised you would be faithful

You promised you would not be wasteful

You promised you would be near

You promised I should not fear

To need the King is not weakness

To need the King is not failing

To need the King is boldness

To need the King is unveiling

**

Be King

Be King

When I cannot see

Be King

Be King

When I want to flee

The lies in my head tell me I am less than

I desperately need the safety of your wingspan

Be King

Be King

When I cry in the night

Be King

Be King

When I need the strength to fight

 Numbness and avoidance are sirens on the waves

Would it be wiser to take the road not yet paved?

**

Remind me you don’t withhold

Remind me to be bold

Remind me you withstand

Remind me to make a fire fanned

Take that foothold

and claim it for your glory

Do not let him grasp

Any part of my story

Take this burden from me

And this thorn deep in my side

I relinquish my perfection

And surrender the battle of my pride

**

Be King

Be King

Fill me with hope

Be King

Be King

Guide my steps on this rope

Be King

Be King

Give me new vision of eye

Be King

Be King

And let this old self die
