Our Christ, the King (Sarah Hart)

Oh, we were wandering in the dark

We had lost our hope and way

And we were restless in our hearts

How we needed to be saved

And so to rescue all your own

You sent your only son

A light to fall, a peace to bring

The coming of our Christ, the King

The word made flesh, the light from light

A cry that pierced our endless noise

A child to speak into our pain

Restoring unto us our joy

To teach our hearts and heal our wounds

Replace our doubt with heaven’s truth

The broken, healed; the lost, redeemed

The beauty of our Christ, the King

Though heaven’s glory he had shown

All our praises turned to scorn

The gift of mercy that he gave

We returned with cross and thorn

Yet to the end, he loved us still

Surrendered to the Father’s will

The mercy of our Christ, the King

And though they laid him in the tomb

In the silence of the grace

No stone could keep the love of God

From the ones he came to save

And so in power and radiant light

He vanquished death and rose to life

Now with the heavens I shall sing

The glory of our Christ, the King
