A Soldier's King Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]No one seemed to no
[A]tice the [Bm]man beside [D]the road
He was [G]just a ragged sol[D]dier
[Em]out there in the c[A]old
But he [D]seemed to have a pur
[A]pose [Bm]only known [G]to him
As he [D]walked along the streets that night
through the [A]town of Bethlehem.
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]In his hea[D]d he held a m[A]emory of
[Bm]all the wars h[D]e'd known
In his [G]hand he clutched [D]a medal
for the [Em]bravery he'd [A]shown
And the [D]weight of every [A]battle
he [Bm]carried in his [G]heart
But his [D]eyes were clear and searching
for a [A]manger in the dark.
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Chorus]
Some are [Bm]born to great[A]ness,
some [G]are born to fall
[A]Some are [Bm]bound to be forgot[A]ten
like they [G]never lived at all
[A]But we're [Bm]all born to [A]know Him
and [D]stand before [G]His light
Like the [Em]soldier who [A]found
his king to[D]night.
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]He had [D]marched for politi[A]cians,
served [G]under their command
[A]And[D] he fought[G] for all the ca[D]uses
that he [Em]did not under[A]stand
But it was [D]something deep in[A]side
him now that [Bm]led him on his [G]way
With a [D]single star to guide him to [A]were the baby lay.

[Verse 5]
[Chorus] [G]He
[Em]stoo[A]d[D][G][D]
before the Son of God,
[G]come to pay [D]our debt
[G]He smiled up at the sol[D]dier that the
[Em]world would soon for[Asus4]get[A]
So he [D]held out [A]his medal and
said [Bm]this for you I [G]bring
[D]There he swore allegiance to the
[A]newborn baby King.
[D][Chorus]
