The King is coming

He’s getting near,

You had better get ready,

Because he’s coming here.

 

In ancient days when kings were bold

And subjects did what they were told,

There lived some people in an old town

Who liked to write important things down

 

A man of importance began to dictate

As the scribe with a pen wrote on a slate

“Listen to these words O people of Zion

Your King is coming and this you can rely on”

 

The King is coming

He’s getting near,

You had better get ready,

Because he’s coming here.

 

He will protect his people and he’ll set them free

And those who are against him will have to bend the knee.

He will sound his trumpet with a mighty shout

And all of his enemies will have to get out

 

Will he be a mighty warrior on a horse of white?

A man in shining armour they call a knight?

No he’ll come on a donkey before your eyes

And there will be those who do not recognise,

That

 

The King is coming

He’s getting near,

You had better get ready,

Because he’s coming here.
