One day last year I was with my dear friend Rick, in a pastors office. We were taking about what to sing for M.L.K weekend
He had done "Shower the People" the year before and it had gone great.
I suggested we write something that day. How about "Said a King to a King" I chimed.
. Well with Rick a good title is like rocket fuel, and away we ran to the piano in the sanctuary.
Thank you B.P.Ev Free church for the use of the piano and the chance to sing it there first.

 

SAID A KING TO A KING

We heard the words of a King, through the mouth of a King

He said "I have a dream" can you walk it with me

 

Said a King to a King, " I am the truth and the life"

Will you follow my ways through these darkest of days

 

Can we walk hand in hand black and white, God and man

Because of His suffering "we shall overcome"

Said a King to a King

 

And on a cool summer morn a King he was torn

and each day it will bring a taste of his suffering

 

When we take up His cross all is gained all is lost

for the life in His blood shed for us, paid the cost

 

And a promise was made and a promise was kept

"Oh death where is thy sting"

Said a King to a King
