David Phelps Live Like a King lyrics

My thirst for the things of this earth
Isn't quenched by diamonds or pearls
One Man lived the life that I want
He's the One they said ruled the world
Though He only wore a crown of thorns
And He never owned a thing

I want to live like a King
I want to live like a King
And my decree it will ring
Love will rule everything
I want to live like a King

This King did the strangest of things
He befriended the sick and the poor
There was no one too wrong, too right
Too black, too white for Him to love
He built no walls, left no unopened doors
Well now I could croon a million other tunes
There's just one I want to sing

I want to live like a King

I want to live like a King
And my decree it will ring
Love will rule everything
I want to live like a King

I want to be stronger, I want to be wiser
I just want to make every move be the one He'd want to see from me
There's just such power, such healing power
In every word that He said, in every deed that He did

I want to, I want to
I want to live like a King
I want to live like a King
And my decree it will ring
Love will rule everything
I want to live like a King, oh
And my decree it will ring
Love will rule everything
I want to live like a King
