This is a Christmas song (brand new to me) that Ms. Leah is choreographing a dance to for the Christmas program at Mt. Zion. It's a great story-song with an underlying theme--only God (or Jesus, not really sure) has sacrificed everything to come down and save us. Wow! That impresses me.
And, more than that, I can't get the song out of my head. For me, it's one of those songs I can put on repeat and listen to over and over and over again. It's that good :)
How Many Kings
~Downhere
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we've projected,
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -
Just a child -
Is this who we've waited for? 'cause...
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe.
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we've waited for?
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
All for me...
All for you...
