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
