The kings of the world value material treasures over people. But our King in Heaven values people above all else.
Lyrics
[verse 1]
The king looked down
from his castle on the hill
At the people in the town
If he asked they would kill
The treasure he saw in the land over there
Was more than he could resist
So an army was raised and they marched over there
And the fathers and sons were missed
[chorus 1]
Songs of glory and sorrow
They would sing
And treasures filled his throne room
Fit for a king
[verse 2]
Then a baby was born
In the light of a star
He was loved He was scorned
They said He never would go far
(He said) the treasures you have will be rotten and lost
But heaven has bounties in store
The people need love when they're forgotten and lost
Give hope to the sick and the poor
[chorus 2]
His words were not welcome
In that Spring
His blood ran from the thorny crown
Fit for a King
[bridge]
My King came down from Heaven
Where the streets are paved with gold
To a world filled with greed
And people in need
And lives that are bought and sold
[chorus 3]
Songs of praise and worship
I will sing
Lift up my life, make it worthy
Fit for a King
