You could have stepped into creation
With fire for all to see
Brought every tribe and nation to their knees
Arriving with the host of heaven
In royal robe and crown
The rulers of the earth all bowing down
Pre Chorus 1
But You chose meekness over majesty
Wrapped Your power in humanity
Chorus
Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life my praise everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
Verse 2
You could have marched in all Your glory
Into the heart of rome
Showed them splendor like they’d never known
But You wrote a better story
In humble Bethlehem
Creator in the arms of common men
Pre Chorus 2
You will die for our redemption
And You’ll rise so we can live
Chorus
Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life my praise everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
Bridge
From heaven to the cradle
From cradle to the cross
Let heaven and nature sing
This is our King
But the grave couldn’t hold Him
Our God has overcome
Let Heaven and nature sing
This is our King
Refrain
All hail the King
All hail the King
All hail the King
