How Many Kings
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
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers 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?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons 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?
It’s who we’ve waited for


How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me


All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you

    I love that my music station plays this song year-round. I first heard it at Christmas and was afraid they would stop playing it, but I've heard it sporadically all year!

    Each time I hear the line 'How many fathers gave up their sons for me?", I get a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes and over whelming awe and joy in my heart for my LORD. Thank you.

    I also agree, I would love to hear this song a lot more all year long. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and love it more when I learned all the words.
    It does not need to be saved for just the holidays.

    I LOVE this song! Beautiful message, beautiful melody. "Only one God, only one Lord, only one great, only one King, only one father" - Our Heavenly Father is the only one who did all of those things for me... and for you. We don't deserve it, but he made His son the perfect sacrifice for us in spite of our inadequacy. How humbling, and how amazing!
