A Soldiers King

C                           
No one seemed to notice the man 
Am             C
beside the road

       F                     Dm
He was just a ragged soldier out 
               G7
there in the cold

       C                        Am
But he seemed to have a purpose 
            F
only known to him

      C                            
As he walked along the streets that
       G7                        C
 night through the town of Bethlehem


                                Am 
In his head he held a memory of all
               C
 the wars he'd known

       F                        Dm
In his hand he clutched a medal 
                   G7
for the bravery he'd shown

        C                         
And the weight of every battle he 
Am             F
carried in his heart

        C                  
But his eyes were clear and 
           G7                  C
searching for a manger in the dark


         Am      C         F     
Some are born to greatness some 
           C
are born to fall

         Am             C         
Some are bound to be forgotten 
       F
like they never lived at all

          Am          G7           
But we're all born to know Him and 
C                F
stand before His light

                     G7            
Like the soldier who found his king
   C
 tonight


He had marched for politicians 
Am                 C
served under their command

       F                        
And he fought for all the causes 
      Dm              G7
that he did not understand

           C                       
But it was something deep inside 
      Am                  F
him now that led him on his way

       C                           
With a single star to guide him to 
G7            C
were the baby lay


         Am      C         F     
Some are born to greatness some 
           C
are born to fall

         Am             C         
Some are bound to be forgotten 
       F
like they never lived at all

          Am          G7           
But we're all born to know Him and 
C                F
stand before His light

                     G7            
Like the soldier who found his king
   C
 tonight


                               Am  
He stood before the Son of God come
            C
 to pay our debt

   F                               
He smiled up at the soldier that 
  Dm               G7
the world would soon forget

      C                      Am   
So he held out his medal and said 
               F
this for you I bring

C                                
There he swore allegiance to the 
G7           C
newborn baby king


         Am      C         F     
Some are born to greatness some 
           C
are born to fall

         Am             C         
Some are bound to be forgotten 
       F
like they never lived at all

          Am                       
But we're all born to know Him and 
C                F
stand before His light

                     G7            
Like the soldier who found his king
   F
 tonight


C                    G7          
Like the soldier who found his 
     C
king tonight
