A few days ago, Pastor Monte posted on Facebook, “A thousand times in history a baby has become a king. But only once has a king become a baby.”
As I read it, I immediately began to sing the chorus from a song I heard years ago written by David Phelps, “One King.” [Released 2006] Here are the lyrics. They speak for themselves.
In the beginning there was the Word / Pure love was spoken to reach every man / They stopped and listened but all that they heard / Was language that they could not understand / No joy, no peace, no hope in sight
So He came with starlight and love in His eyes / No regal welcome for His infant cries / There have been many babies to become a king / But only one King became a baby
He left behind His throne of pure light / Gave up His crown that we might be free / He chose a manger that Bethlehem night / And reaching through time and space He saw me / With no joy, no peace, no hope in sight
So He came with starlight and love in His eyes / No regal welcome for His infant cries / There have been many babies to become a king / But only one King became a baby
He could have chosen to break through the sky / With anthem and angel wing / But He knew we’d understand a baby’s cry / And learn love from a servant King
So He came with starlight and love in His eyes / No regal welcome for His infant cries / There have been so many babies to become a king / Only one King, one King became a baby
