MANY YEARS AGO
GOD SAID, "SON YOU HAVE A MISSION
IT DEMANDS YOU LEAVE YOUR THRONE
AND GO REDEEM OUR OWN CREATION
FOR YOU SEE SON, THEY HAVE SINNED
AND EACH HAS TURNED HIS OWN WAY
WE'VE GOT TO SAVE THEM
YOU MUST DIE IN THEIR PLACE"
SO JESUS LEFT, TAKING NOTHING
ON HIS JOURNEY TO EARTH
OBEDIENTLY HE WAS BORN
NOT IN A PALACE, BUT IN A MANGER
HE THEN GREW, HE HEALED THE SICK
RAISED THE DEAD, YET FEW WOULD LISTEN
INSTEAD THEY CHOSE TO KILL HIM
UNAWAREOF HIS MISSION
OH BUT EARLY ON EASTER MORNING
WHILE MOST MEN WERE STILL ASLEEP
MY LORD'S EYES WERE OPENED
AND HIS HEART BEGAN TO BEAT
NEW LIFE WAS CREATED
THE STING OF DEATH WAS GONE
SOON HE'D RISE UP TO HEAVEN
SOON HE'D HEAR REDEMPTION'S SONG
CHORUS ONE
OH, THE KING'S BACK HOME
HE HAS DEFEATED THE ENEMY
NOW HE'LL CLAIM HIS THRONE
WHERE HE'LL REIGN FOR ALL ETERNITY
SIN HAS BEEN PAID FOR
THE SAINTS JOIN THE SONG
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
THE KING'S BACK HOME
BRIDGE
AND SOMEDAY WE'LL GATHER
WEHN TIME IS NO MORE
OUR VOICES TOGETHER
IN ONE ACCORD.....WE'LL SING...
THE KING'S BACK HOME
HE HAS DEFEATED THE ENEMY
NOW HE'LL CLAIM HIS THRONE
WHERE HE'LL REIGN FOR ALL ETERNITY
IN HEAVEN FOREVER
WE'LL JOIN THE SONG
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
THE KING'S BACK HOME
