“How Many Kings” is a wonderful gospel song released in the year 2008 from the album “Ending is Beginning” by Downhere.
Downhere was a Christian rock band from Canada. They were made of talented gospel singer and worship members.
“How Many Kings” is a song about the incredible love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It compares Jesus to earthly kings and rulers such as presidents, governors and chair persons, showing how unique and selfless He is.
The lyrics ask a simple but powerful question: how many kings would give up their throne and riches to help someone else or sinners like me and you?
Lyrics;
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother’s shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?
‘Cause how many kings stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many Fathers gave up their Sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for His honor and frankincense for His pleasure
And myrrh for the cross He’ll suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Only one did that for me
All for me, all for you…
…..THE END
