Complete lyrics for "God is Your King"

We will sing the story of the Kings of Israel,
The people said to Samuel, "Give to us a king,
For we wish to be as all the other nations are,
Every other nation has a king!"

Egypt has a king!
Assyria has a king!
The Philistines have a king!
We want a king!

The Lord’s prophet Samuel said,                             Nubia has a king,
"Hear, oh Israel!                                                      the Ammonites have a king,
God is your King!                                                  the Moabites have a king,
God is your King!                                                  we want a king!

The Lord’s prophet Samuel said,                           Egypt has a king,
"Hear, oh Israel!                                                    Assyria has a king,
God is your King!                                                 the Philistines have a king,
God is your King! we want a king!

A King will take your sons to plow his                 Nubia has a king,
ground and reap his harvest,                                 the Ammonites have a king,
To run before his chariots                                     the Moabites have a king,
and serve in all his wars.                                      We want a king!

A King will take your daughters to be                 Egypt has a king,
perfumers and bakers,                                         Assyria has a king,
Take a tenth part of your grain and wine             the Philistines have a king,
your donkeys, flocks and herds...                         we want a king!

The Lord, who brought you out of Egypt!
God is your King!
God is your King!
But you are a stiff necked people,
and you have rejected Him.

Then the tribes of Israel assembled at Mizpah,
Samuel called them forward tribe by tribe and clan by clan
From the tribe of Benjamin came Saul the son of Kish
And Samuel anointed him as King!

As Saul the Benjamite                                                 Israel has a king!
stood among the people                                               Long live the King!
He was a full head taller than any other man.              Saul is the King! Long live the King!
Samuel said, "Look and see                                        Long live the King!
the man the Lord has chosen                                      Long live the King!
anointed by the Lord to be your King                        Long live the King!
