Lyrics
MY KING
VERSE 1:
When first I beheld my King
My soul grasped the full meaning
I was so overcome with fear
Yet yearned to feel him near
CHORUS 1:
And so I choose
My place on the throne
In the highest kingdom
That is my home
My heart
Is open wide
No longer willing to hide
This love inside
VERSE 2:
What gifts have I to bring?
The purest light within
The mysteries of all ages past
Lie here within my grasp
CHORUS 2:
And so I choose . . .
