The King and I
4HIM · The Message [1996]
The sun is rising and once again
The morning finds me on my knees
On the days horizon I have got
An invitation to see the king
Far away from the worries that weigh me down
I am taken to holy ground
To the place where mercy and love abounds
There in the midst of His throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
CHORUS
Where the king and I go walking together
Side by side in a heavenly place
Unaware of time in the land of forever
There is his kingdom of grace
Nobody but the king and I
The pace of living somehow can make
The strongest man grow weak at times
But I'll never give in this race I'm running
Leaves no room for compromise
So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of his throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
REPEAT CHORUS
So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of his throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
REPEAT CHORUS
The morning finds me on my knees
On the days horizon I have got
An invitation to see the king
Far away from the worries that weigh me down
I am taken to holy ground
To the place where mercy and love abounds
There in the midst of His throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
CHORUS
Where the king and I go walking together
Side by side in a heavenly place
Unaware of time in the land of forever
There is his kingdom of grace
Nobody but the king and I
The pace of living somehow can make
The strongest man grow weak at times
But I'll never give in this race I'm running
Leaves no room for compromise
So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of his throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
REPEAT CHORUS
So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of his throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong
REPEAT CHORUS
