Who is This King of Glory

Verse

Who is this King of Glory

that they have beaten to the ground

what could have caused the masses

who once cheered to turn around

Pre-chorus

They cry out now for His death

crucifixion will be the way

Who is this King of Glory

will no one speak out and say?

Verse

He stands before His accusers

this beaten and broken man

His crime was loving us too much

the penalty was death on demand.

Verse

How could they sit before Him

and accuse Him of these horrid crimes

He did nothing but good to others

and brought healing to bodies and to minds.

Verse

They say He is some sort of king

the Roman government to overthrow

but we never heard Him make such claim

we lived with Him, we know.

Bridge

What kind of King is Jesus

to let this trial go on like this

for not a word to defend Himself

came from His sacred lips.

Why did He not proclaim the truth to them

that He was not the king of this earth

He was just a man named Jesus

but God’s own Son by birth.

Chorus

Who is this King of Glory?

He is Jesus Lord of all.

His life He gives up willingly

to overcome mankind’s fall.

His victory is not in fighting men

but in dying in their place.

Who is this King of Glory?

Just look upon His face.
