When We Were Kings...

When We Were Kings...

Everyone did what was right in his own eyes
We exchanged the Truth for a lie

When We Were Kings...

We confessed the Law with our lips
But we did not understand Deuteronomy 6

When We Were Kings...

We tried to be Prophet and Priest as well

But we were left standing at a dried up well

When We Were Kings...

We did not train our children in the way they should walk

Now they outline each other in chalk

When We Were Kings...

We sought praise from men instead of from the One

Who delivered Daniel from the Lion's Den

When We Were Kings...

We did not recognize the Word in the flesh

Instead we put Him to death and watched Him breathe His last breath

When We Were Kings...

We did not fear the One who can put our soul to death

We did not seek the One who conquered death

We did not receive the One who reverses death

When We Were Kings...

We took a stand against the Great I AM

And against His Holy Lamb, the Son of Man

When We Were Kings...
