King of Love by The Statler Brothers

Jesus said, "It has to be
The father planned my destiny
This is my blood which I must give
I will die, so you may live"

He was a child, He was a son
He was a man among men
He was a friend, He was a saint
He was the king of love

Jesus died the world was dark
Not a sound was there to hark
The breath was gone, He hung his head
But wait, let us rejoice

For He has risen from the dead
He was a child, He was a son
He was a man among men
He was a friend, He was a saint
He was the king of love
