Lyrics King of Love - Johnny Cash

Jesus came
There he lay
In a manger of hay
The angels sang
The shepherds came
They knew not what
The future held
They only knew
They were compelled
From up above
A baby boy
The king of love
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king of love
Jesus grew
He was a child
He traveled far
In distant lands
His earthly parents
By the hand
They missed him now
He did not hide
He told them
I must confide
I was at my father's side
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king of love
Jesus died
The world was dark
Not a sound was there to hark
The breath was gone
He hung his head
But wait
Let us rejoice...
(For he has risen from the dead)
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king of love
