Backing track: We're Going to See the King!
Chorus
We're so excited! (Oh yes!) We're going to see the king
Everyone's invited! (Oh yes!) We're all going in.
Don't care if we're rich or poor, doesn't matter any more
What matters is we're here for sure! (Oh yes!) We're going to see the king!
Children
We know it's past our bedtime, but we can't sleep a wink.
It feels more like playtime, and we'd all like to think
That we can be with Jesus any time of day or night
And so we've come to sit with him, to cuddle him, chill out with him
We can't wait to be with him - we're going to see the king!
Chorus...
Kings
We know we're very tired after our three-year trip
We ought to go to bed now but we don't want to kip
We've come this far behind the star, and now I think we're here!
And so we've come to speak to him, to kneel to him, bow down to him
We can't wait to be with him - we're going to see the king!
Chorus...
Angels
We ought to be in paradise but can't resist the urge
To see him with our own two eyes to fly right down to earth.
Our mighty God become a child? Amazing but it's true!
And so we've come to honour him, to gaze on him and worship him.
We can't wait to be with him - we're going to see the king!
Chorus...
Shepherds/Farmer
We know we should be guarding our sheep out on the hill
But it would be too hard when we're so excited still.
We know we're only working class, the lowest of the low
But we've come to smile at him, to sing to him, to play to him
We can't wait to be with him - we're going to see the king!
Chorus...
Animals
We know we're unhygienic and we make a nasty smell
But we make the place look scenic and we warm it up as well
We know we're only animals, but God's our maker too
And so we've come to stare at him, to breathe on him, to stand by him.
We can't wait to be with him - we're going to see the king!
