[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him
[Verse 1]
Born within the heat of Arid sands
Born to kill the evil where it stands
Born to still the seas and free the land
Born to heal the people, make a clan
Born to teach the people how to stand
Born to diŠµ to free them, that's the plan
BeforŠµ you raise the king to be a man
Avoid hostility from Herod's hands
Murderous intent, the heart of man
To spill the blood of love so innocent
To massacre the prophets that you sent, they laughing while they digging into your skin with the cat of nine, your back and side, they hanged you high, and while they sat and laughed you died, and cracked the sky
It's the last of times, we have the signs, You said "I'm coming back for Mine"
[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him
[Verse 2]
Break, driven by the pain
Determination in his face, he ain't gon' be the same
Talking bout the different picture he was tryna paint
A different kind of soul, kinder, freer, full of strain
A man of God ain't finna give in in the devil's face
The kind of man that wouldn't run away when Eli paged
The kind of warrior that make the enemy afraid
He breaking chains, bringing people right up out the grave
Taunted demons, plucked the power from the hellish plane
Sat on His Throne, cause He's a King, and He's bound to reign
Revolutionary, bring a new change
Pummel oppression to free the slaves
Teaching a lesson to test their brains
Went from flipping tables, to flipping the lies and fables
Folks came to Him barely able, He multiplied their tables
Introduced a love that's more than stable, unlike Cain and Abel
He disabled all the bondage cables, freed our souls and now we're re-enabled
Yeah
[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him
Long, long ago, there was a man of power
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
The Legend of the King, yes He lives again in power yeah
Verse 3
1-2-3-4
Knock at my door
Pain that You bore
Bore my load for
All things sinful
All things dismal
Smile like dimples
Shine like crystals
2-2-3-4
Whatchu need me for?
You got all power in hand, my relief for
All of my grief, You're
My nominee for
Office to speak for
The house of the weak, You're
Raining in power He's raining in power
The drizzle drop His grace is a shower, His grace is a shower
He took it all was paining for hours, was paining for hours
Take Him down to the grave and make Him look like he's going to stay
HALT!!!
"Put the brakes on your whole operation
This is the man of whom you're an imitation?
Said he'd give you life, but it seems He's left His station
This is not the place for your hope or your patience"
Wait wait wait please, this was for your safety
Scripture prophesied that you guys would never break me
Seated on the throne and I left my tomb gaping
Death been dead since I killed it on day 3
They cease running off their mouths and I stay King
Same thing
If you want a savior just say "please"
Hey these people see I'm back they, looking crazy
You should see the look up on your face like "Say cheese"!
