Behold He Comes - Steve McConnell

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…
