How Many Kings

Music and words by Jason Germain and Marc Martel


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 shawl-- just a child.
Is this who we've waited for?

'Cause 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 is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me.

Bringing our gifts for 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 who we've waited for?
