A Child, A King =============== w&m: Ruth Elaine Schram & Celsie Staggers, 2007 [Verse 1] A babe in arms is fast asleep, sheltered from harm among the sheep and lambs; the Holy One of whom the angels sing: a Child, a King. [Verse 2] Deserving of the finest royal robes, He's wrapped with love in simple swaddling clothes, but look: His guardians spread their golden wings! A Child, a King. [Refrain] A tiny Child, small and helpless, and yet, a King of endless might. The Lord of all, sent to help us; to lead the way in love and light. [Verse 3] His ears absorb, His eyes observe; He cannot form a single word, and yet, omniscient, He knows ev'rything; a Child, a King. [Verse 4] His fingers curl around His mother's hand; they've held the world! They've traced the edge of land and sea; now feeling Mary's warmth, discovering; a Child, a King, a King! [Refrain] [Verse 5] To walk the path God intended, on human feet like yours and mine; to show us holiness and perfection; to be like us, and yet divine. [Verse 6] A manger holds redemption's plan: the Son of God, the Son of Man! Behold, the Holy One of whom the angels sing: a Child, a King! The Holy Child, my King.
