I oA#ften hearFd of kingsGm in fairy talesDm
wearing largeD# crowns, adornFed with precious jeweA#ls.
And I oftenDm wonderedGm if thoseCm were ever trueF,
the kingD# I knew wore but a smallF cap.
I ofteA#n heard that kingFs are humbly greetGmed by servanDmts,
all his wishD#es grantedF as he pleaseA#d.
Oh but underDm the sun,Gm and in itsCm searing heatF,
the kingD# I knew spared noF sweat for all ThaisA#.
I heA#ard that fairyF tale kings liveGm in castles high,Dm
with tall steeplD#es piercinFg through the sky.A#
But on barrenDm ground so dry,Gm knelt downCm this king of mine.F
His righteoD#us throne was rooted to the land.F
I hA#eard that kingsF are sentGm down from heaven,Dm
I knew righD#t then, I knewF this much is true.A#
A king who gaveDm us his all,Gm blessedCm were me and you.F
Ours D#was a saintly kingF who graced thisA# land.
He led us to sufficD#iency, to be Dmour better selves.
The pathCm he'd firmly heldF all these sevenA#ty years.
There's a callingD# from above, thatDm brings us to tears,
he Cmmust now rest in heaveFn.
* MayA# our voiceFs reach himGm through the sky.Dm
He's in our D#hearts, as certaFin as the tide.A#
Let's walk hisDm noble pathGm, his lifeCm shall be our guide.F
So hisD# soul may nowF rest in peace.A#
