Behold he comes - the king of kings
Behold he comes - Yeshua
Wasn't it enough that you enslaved us for so long?
Wasn't it enough to watch us leave?
You had to keep pursuing - had to fill our hearts with fear
Following behind us to drive us to the sea.
And of course we all were trembling as we thought about our fate
Drown, or turn to face your mighty men
Then Moses stood and raised his hands and said - be still...
And see the Lord's deliverance in the mighty arm of God
Why have we been exiled to the land of Babylon?
It's hard for us to see it as God's plan.
‘Cause it's here beside the river where we hung our harps and cried
As we felt the void for Zion and the God who brought us there.
And it's here - where our captors make us sing about our home
Mocking every single word we say,
But Jeremiah's telling us to just be still
God knows the plans He has for us, He'll come to take us home.
The prophet said behold our king is coming
Riding on a humble beast of burden
From Bethlehem to Golgotha and the ends of the earth...
He comes to show the way back to the garden
And since that time the pattern stays the same
And I must admit it's hard sometimes to hold on to my faith
When I see the vile hatred for the ones who bear your Name
Now it's land for peace, but I don't believe the words are worth my breath
Another pharaoh tries to drive us to the sea
But there's a calm - small - voice and it says be still
I've known the end from the beginning - and very soon you will...
