"Be My King" - from the album "The Season Of Love"
(Michael Tolf)
This song came to me early one morning. I was in my basement, strumming a couple new guitar chords I recently learned. As I "got into the grove" of the chord progression, the words began to come. The song was finished in about 1 hour - which is very rare for me. It usually takes me months/years to receive full inspiration for my songs.
Early in the morning - I'll raise my weary head
And I'll come before You - kneel beside my bed
How I long to praise You - lift Your name on high
You are more than life to me
You are the very air I breathe
You are living deep inside of me
Oh Lord sweet Jesus - come and be my king
Coming to Your table - longing for some bread
Deserving condemnation - receiving grace instead
Oh You fill my cup Lord - and it overflows
You are more than life to me
You are the very air I breathe
You are living deep inside of me
Oh Lord sweet Jesus - come and be my king
You are life and breathe and praise
You are with me throughout my days
You are everything I need
Oh Lord sweet Jesus - come and be my king
How I need Your love - to lift me to that place
Where I can raise my hands - and feel Your warm embrace
Repeat Chorus
Ending
Oh sweet Jesus come and be my king
Oh sweet Jesus give me everything
Oh sweet Jesus You are salt and light
I'm gonna praise You with all my might
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus come and be my king
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus give me everything
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh sweet Jesus come and
Oh!
