A KING WITHOUT A COUNTRY
DAVID PELLEGRINI @ NANCY BLANDFORD (c) 2022
V1
HE WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM
A SLEEPY LITTLE TOWN
WITH CATTLE, SHEEP, AND OXEN
GATHERED ALL AROUND
THE SHEPHERDS ON THE HILLSIDE
HEARD THE ANGELS SING
“GLORY IN THE HIGHEST
PRAISING THE NEWBORN KING”

CHORUS 1
HE WAS A KING WITHOUT A COUNTRY
A KING WITHOUT A CROWN
A KING WITHOUT AN ARMY
NO RICHES TO BE FOUND
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS FATHER
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS THRONE.
THEN HE GAVE UP HEAVEN
TO MAKE THIS WORLD HIS HOME

V2
SO EVERY YEAR AT CHRISTMAS
ALL ACROSS THE EARTH
WE SING ABOUT THIS JESUS
TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH
ABOUT the KING WHO CAME TO SERVE
the KING WHO CAME TO LOVE
the KING WHO GAVE UP EVERYTHING 
JUST TO BE WITH US


CHORUS 2
HE WAS A KING WITHOUT A COUNTRY
A KING WITHOUT A CROWN
A KING WITHOUT AN ARMY
NO RICHES TO BE FOUND
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS FATHER
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS THRONE.
THEN HE GAVE UP HIS KINGDOM 
TO MAKE THIS WORLD HIS HOME

Bridge
After 33 YEARS ON THIS EARTH
THEY NAILED HIM TO A TREE
ON HIS HEAD
 LAID A  CROWN OF THORNS 
They CALLED HIM MAJESTY  
THEY WHIPPED HIS BACK 
PIERCED HIS SIDE 
CURSED AND MOCKED HIS NAME
But Before He died  he PRAYED
FORGIVE THEM Father
DON’T HOLD THEM TO BLAME

CHORUS 3
Now HE’S A KING  THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CAN NOT BE FOUND
HE’S EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE’S SAVIOR HE’S LORD
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD 
and LIVES FOREVER MORE 

CHORUS 4 
Now HE’S A KING THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CAN NOT BE FOUND
He's EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE'S SAVIOR HE'S LORD
HE SAID BELIEVE IN ME 
AND LIVE FOREVER MORE 

CHORUS 5
NOW HE’S A KING THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CAN NOT BE FOUND
He's EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE'S SAVIOR HE'S LORD
When we  BELIEVE IN him  
We’ll  LIVE FOR EVER MORE

When we  BELIEVE IN him  
We’ll  LIVE FOR EVER MORE
