John the Baptist prophesied a Messiah will rise   He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies   Years later in the city of Dave   A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe   Kings came from afar, followed a star   To worship baby Jesus who was born in a barn   He brings peace on Earth, His mercy is mild   God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child   It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing   Allelujah, let it move ya, Christ is King       (chorus)   Allelujah   Christ is King   Allelujah   Let the praises ring   Allelujah       He stood before Pilot an innocent man   They cried "crucify," He supplied demand   He was mocked, spit upon, His clothes were torn   Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns   They placed Him in a robe, they gave Him a staff   As they gambled for His garments Roman soldiers laughed   Upon Golgotha they crucified Christ   Sent from above to cold pay your price   On His command opposition was through   But Christ said "Forgive them, they know not what they do"       (repeat chorus)       Now Mary ran toward the tomb of her Messiah and Lord   Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door   She took one step inside, filled with fright   She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night   As she fell to the ground she began to weep   Heard a voice and turned to hear the Savior speak   Christ the Messiah risen up from the dead   "He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read   It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing   Allelujah, Christ is King       (repeat chorus)
