Humble Shepherd-King
(1 Samuel, Philippians 2)
Lyrics:
Verse 1
The kings of this world seek for power
To honor their nation and name
In pride they build up, and like wolves they devour,
In quest for tyrannical fame
Verse 2
But, Lord Jesus Christ, You descended,
Let go of Your privilege and throne,
You died to save traitors, to make us Your own,
And rose to lead all Your sheep home
Chorus
Humble Shepherd-King
You laid down Your life for us
For our sin, You bore the cross
Mighty Son of God
With Your Spirit now we sing
To our humble Shepherd-King
Verse 3
Oppressors still rise up in triumph
We sojourn and struggle in pain
But onward You lead, till at last You return
And all bow at Your noble Name
Bridge
Hosanna in the highest
To our humble Shepherd-King!
Hosanna in the highest
To our holy Shepherd-King!
Hosanna in the highest
To our glorious Shepherd-King!
Hosanna in the highest
To the King above all kings!
