Lyrics Sample

My King: I am a shepherd boy.

I left the hillside to come to Bethlehem.

Tonight, my King, I’ve come to worship you.

I travelled miles to kneel beside your manger.

My King: I’ll always worship you

For all my life.

My Lord: I journeyed through the night

To be a witness right here in Bethlehem.

Tonight, my Lord, I’ve come to honour you.

I travelled miles to kneel beside your manger.

My Lord: I’ll always honour you

For all my life.

Yes, my Lord, I know that I’m humble.

Yes, my Lord, I know that I’m poor.

Yes, my Lord, I know that I’ve

Nothing to give you but my heart.

You are my King, although you are so small.

You are the Saviour: you light up all the world...
