Doesn't That Surprise You?

A long time ago I heard a song at Christmas. I've loved the song for years. It was sung by Sharalee Lucas. Don't know who wrote it ~

That a King would come, the way He came

No marching bands and no parades

But He came anyway. Just a stone, some hay

And the people shook their heads in sad dismay

Doesn’t that surprise you, that you never know how He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you?  Do you believe it?

Doesn’t that surprise you, that you never know how He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you?  Doesn’t that surprise you? 

And His throne is in me, not a palace by the sea

And you wonder, “Can this be?”

Well, He died and He arose ~ and His kingdom, still it grows

As His spirit lives in you and me constantly

Doesn’t that surprise you that you never know where He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you? Do you believe it?

Doesn’t that surprise you that you never know where He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you? Doesn’t that surprise you?

And this King will take His flight

Like a thief in the night, a trumpet will blast with all it’s might

He’ll return for His own ~ then we’ll stand at His throne

In a moment we’ll be with the King ~ at home

Doesn’t that surprise you that you never know when He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you? Do you believe it?

Doesn’t that surprise you that you never know when He’s gonna’ show up

Doesn’t that surprise you? Doesn’t that surprise you?

That a King would come, the way He came

No marching bands and no parades

But He came anyway. Just a stone, some hay

And the people still shake their heads in sad dismay
