The King (Allelujah) Lyrics


John the Baptist prophesied a Messiah will rise
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
Years later in the city of Dave
A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe
Kings came from afar, followed a star
To worship baby Jesus who was born in a barn
He brings peace on Earth, His mercy is mild
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing (Doncha know)
Allelujah, let it move ya, Christ is KingAllelujah
Christ is the King
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
AllelujahHe stood before Pilot an innocent man
They cried ??Crucify!?? He supplied demand
He was mocked, spit upon, His clothes were torn
Royalty represented with a crown of thorns
They placed Him in a robe, they gave Him a staff

As they gambled for His garments Roman soldiers laughed
Upon Golgotha they crucified Christ
Sent from above to cold pay your price
On His command opposition was through
But Christ said ??Forgive them, they know not what they do!??Allelujah
Christ is the King
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
AllelujahNow Mary ran toward the tomb of her Messiah and Lord
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
She took one step inside, filled with fright
She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night
As she fell to the ground she began to weep
Heard a voice and turned to hear the Savior speak
Christ the Messiah risen up from the dead
He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, come on! Christ is KingAllelujah
Christ is the King
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
Allelujah

dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, dc Talk, Nu Thang, and Free At Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name TobyMac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own.
