So long, Moses

Hello, Promised Land

It was a long, long road

But your people are home

So long, Moses


Hello, Joshua

Goodbye, Canaanites

We're coming to town

Twelve tribes and no crown

No crown, Oh Lord


We want a king on a throne

Full of power, with a sword in his fist

Will there ever be, ever be a king like this?


Hello, Saul

First king of Israel

You were foolish and strong

So you didn't last long

Goodbye, Saul


Hail, King David

Shepherd from Bethlehem

Set the temple of God

In mighty Jerusalem


You were a king on a throne

Full of power, with a sword in his fist

Has there ever been, ever been a king like this?

Full of wisdom, full of strength, the hearts of the people are his

Hear, O Israel, was ever there a king like this?


Hello, prophets

The kingdom is broken now

The people of God

Have been scattered abroad

How long, O Lord?


So speak, Isaiah

Prophet of Judah

Can you tell of the One

This king who's going to come


Will he be a king on a throne

Full of power with a sword in his fist?

Prophet, tell us will there be another king like this?

Full of wisdom, full of strength,

The hearts of the people are his

Prophet, tell us will there be

another king like this?


"He'll bear no beauty or glory

Rejected, despised

A man of such sorrow

We'll cover our eyes


He'll take up our sickness

Carry our tears

For his people

He will be pierced


He'll be crushed for our evils

Our punishment feel

By his wounds

We will be healed."


"From you, O Bethlehem

Small among Judah

A ruler will come

Ancient and strong."
