King of the Jews
by Rita Springer

Album: Worth It All

Father the time has come
When I know that I must leave
Through these sweat and blood and these tears
Your face I soon will see
Give me strength to be betrayed tonight and die
Father, defend me, and maintain what I have said
As they spit upon me now
Crush these thorns into my head
I hear an angry crowd call: Crucify
King of the Jews carry your cross
Save yourself if you are who you say you are
King of the Jews, unrecognized
Did we hear you say that you would rise?
The sign above His head they all but knew
Read "King of the Jews"
Father please forgive them
For they know not what they do
And as these nails go through my hands
May I feel what they feel too
Lost, alone, afraid, in fear of the truth
Father, into Your hands I now set my spirit free
And with my head I bow to Your authority
It is done and finished now for me
King of the Jews carry your cross
Save yourself if you are who you say you are
King of the Jews, unrecognized
Did we hear you say that you would rise?
The sign above Your head they all but knew
Read "King of the Jews"
King of the Jews carry my cross
Because I believe that You are who You say you are
King of the Jews remember me
When I come home to live with You in eternity
The sign above His head still speaks the truth
Still to this day it reads:
King of the Jews
