Steve McConnell - Behold He Comes lyrics

Behold he comes - the king of kings Behold he comes - Yeshua Wasn't it enough that you enslaved us for so long? Wasn't it enough to watch us leave? You had to keep pursuing - had to fill our hearts with fear Following behind us to drive us to the sea. And of course we all were trembling as we thought about our fate Drown, or turn to face your mighty men Then Moses stood and raised his hands and said - be still... And see the Lord's deliverance in the mighty arm of God Why have we been exiled to the land of Babylon? It's hard for us to see it as God's plan. ‘Cause it's here beside the river where we hung our harps and cried As we felt the void for Zion and the God who brought us there. And it's here - where our captors make us sing about our home Mocking every single word we say, But Jeremiah's telling us to just be still God knows the plans He has for us, He'll come to take us home. The prophet said behold our king is coming Riding on a humble beast of burden From Bethlehem to Golgotha and the ends of the earth... He comes to show the way back to the garden And since that time the pattern stays the same And I must admit it's hard sometimes to hold on to my faith When I see the vile hatred for the ones who bear your Name Now it's land for peace, but I don't believe the words are worth my breath Another pharaoh tries to drive us to the sea But there's a calm - small - voice and it says be still I've known the end from the beginning - and very soon you will...
