The Cross that Made Him King

  1. The Prince of Peace surveyed
    The ruins of his crown
    On David's thronged and febrile streets
    As Hosannas rained down:
    But He already knew
    What Passover would bring,
    Though Priests and Governors might pronounce,
    The Cross would make Him King.
  2. The love of power destroys
    The gentlest of prayers
    But we must not refuse the call
    To soften human cares:
    Whatever trials we face
    Must be our offering
    Laid at the feet of Him who bore
    The Cross that made Him King.
  3. We will not rule in vain
    Where power springs from love,
    Where acts of soaring eagles
    Are obedient to the dove:
    Those with the moral power
    Must risk its conquering,
    As Jesus three times fell beneath
    The Cross that made Him King.
  4. Our model is a child
    Born in a lowly state
    Whose meekness and humility
    Combined to make him great:
    Our icon is a Son
    Whose selfless suffering
    Gained him eternal power through
    The Cross that made Him King.
