THE KING OF HEAVEN CAME FOR US LYRICS

VERSE 1
Before the Word was flesh
Your presence chose to dwell
Behind a heavy curtain
Within a holy cell
A cloud of awesome power
A guiding pillar’s flame
A glory veiled and hidden
Where few could speak Your name

CHORUS
But the king of heaven came for us
To walk in dust and grace
Fulfilling God's eternal plan
To take the sinner's place
He came to heal the broken
He died upon the tree
To bring the lost to glory
And set the captive free

VERSE 2
You rose and have ascended
Your victory is won
And poured Your Holy Spirit
The promise of the Son
No longer in a building
A structure made of stone
But dwelling deep within us
You've made our hearts Your throne.

CHORUS
But the king of heaven came for us
To walk in dust and grace
Fulfilling God's eternal plan
To take the sinner's place
He came to heal the broken
He died upon the tree
To bring the lost to glory
And set the captive free

BRIDGE
No longer veiled 
No longer far
Your Spirit's dwelling where we are
The temple curtain torn in two
A holy dwelling made brand new
No longer veiled
No longer far
Your Spirit's dwelling where we are
The temple curtain torn in two
To build a people strong and true

CHORUS
But the king of heaven came for us
To walk in dust and grace
Fulfilling God's eternal plan
To take the sinner's place
He came to heal the broken
He died upon the tree
To bring the lost to glory
And set the captive free
But the king of heaven came for us
To walk in dust and grace
Fulfilling God's eternal plan
To take the sinner's place
He came to heal the broken
He died upon the tree
To bring the lost to glory
And set the captive free
