The King Between the Clouds

Lyrics

Verse I The lion roared before the dawn, The watchmen heard His name. A whisper crossed the prophets’ lips, The world would not remain. A branch from David’s broken house, A promise wrapped in dust; The seed beneath forgotten ground Still waited in its trust. Pre-Chorus A King would come not clothed in fear, No warhorse at His side; The Maker of the stars above Would choose a donkey’s ride. Chorus Hosanna to the humble King, The Shepherd and the Lamb. He wore our wounds before the crown, The great I AM. Lifted through the cloud of glory, Hidden from our eyes; But every promise still is breathing— The King will surely rise. Verse II They pierced the One they could not know, Yet mercy flowed instead. A fountain opened for the lost, Where guilty hearts were led. New wine filled vessels made anew, Old shadows passed away; The Bridegroom left for just a while, To bring the endless day. Bridge Hear the trumpet split the silence. Hear the archangel cry. Every grave shall lose its prisoner, Every tear run dry. Those asleep will wake in glory, Those alive will stand; Caught to greet the coming Sovereign, Welcomed by His hand. Final Chorus Now heaven’s gates are opened wide, A Rider dressed in white. His robe is stained with faithful blood, His eyes are living light. No sword of iron fills His hand— His Word alone prevails. The beast, the lie, the ancient night, Before His justice fails. King of kings forever reigning, Lord of every shore; From sea to sea His peace is carried, War shall be no more. The mountains drip with living wine, The garden blooms again. The Shepherd, Lamb, and Risen King Will dwell with us. Amen. Outro So lift your eyes, but do not wander; Work until He comes. The cloud that veiled His glory once Will part beneath the sun. The trumpet waits. The promise stands. The Bride prepares her song. The King between the clouds is near— And He has waited long.
