Before the King

Before the King we bow the knee And pledge eternal loyalty For He has saved us from our foes Thus we shall go where’er He goes Before the King we march ahead And cross the Jordan’s riverbed To take possession of the land He pledged to us with upraised hand Before the King we bravely fight Defending what is true and right Whate’er the risks, despite the odds We wage a war ‘gainst Caanan’s gods Before the King we serve and stand To do whate’er He shall command To learn His wisdom, sing His praise And glory in His wondrous ways Before the King we shall rejoice So glad to hear His mighty voice So humbled that for us He cares Our troubles and concerns He shares Before the King we shout His fame Our victory is in His Name To every nation we shall tell There is a King in Israel Before the King a river flows Which sends forth life where’er it goes Before our King shall we abide By Him forever satisfied
