Song Lyrics: Sent Me A King (feat. Smokie Norful) by Jonathan McReynolds
God sent me a king
One born to change everything
God sent me a light
A love that makes wrong men right
In a way that only he can
God sent me more than just a man
He sent me a king
God sent me a king
For every time my heart was broken
Every time I lost my way
For every wrong needing forgiveness
Grace would come on Christmas Day
Born the universe’s finest
Angels sing the sweetest sound
Worthy of a throne
Regardless if he wears a crown
God sent me a king
One born to change everything
He sent me a light
A love that makes wrong men right
In a way only he can
God sent me more than just a man
He sent me a king
God sent me a king
For there is no way I can scafe in the valley
When born is the Lord of the mountains
Let me lift up my hands and see that my help is with me
Let all come to see and every heart believe
God sent us a king
One born to change everything
He sent us a light
A love that makes wrong men right
In a way that only he can
God sent me more, more than just a man
He sent us a king
God sent us a king
