[VERSE 1]
               Em          D/F#      G
You could have stepped in - to cre - ation 
     C               G
With fire for all to see
        Em     D/F#      G      G/B       C
Brought every  tribe and nation to  their knees
         Em       D/F#    G         C2             G
Arriving with the host of heaven in royal robe and crown
    Em     D/F#     G         G/B     C
The rulers  of  the earth all bowing  down

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Am               Em            Dsus     D
   But You chose meekness over majesty 
Am              Em            Dsus     D
   Wrapped Your power in hu - manity    

[CHORUS]
G           C       G
Glory be to You a - lone
Em                     Dsus    D
King who reigns from a manger  throne
   G/B                    C     D  Em
My life my praise every - thing I  own
   C         G/B       D       (Em7)
To Jesus the King on a manger  throne

[TURN]
| Em7 D/F# G D | C2 |

[VERSE 2]
               Em7        D/F#     G
You could have marched in all Your glory 
     C2              G
In - to the heart of Rome
Em7         D/F#     G           G/B   C2
Showed them splendor like they’d never known
        Em7     D/F#    G        C2              G
But You wrote a better  story in humble Bethle - hem
      Em7   D/F#   G       G/B     C2
Cre - ator  in the arms of common  men

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
         Am7              Em
You will die for our re - demption
           G/D            D
And You’ll rise so we can live

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE] [x2]
C2                           Dsus
   From heaven to the cradle      from cradle to the cross
Em7                      G/B
   Let heaven and nature sing this is our King
C2                                 Dsus
   But the grave couldn’t hold Him      our God has overcome
Em7                      G/B
   Let heaven and nature sing this is our King

[TAG]
C2                   Dsus
   All hail the King      all hail the King
Em7                  Dsus
   All hail the King 

[CHORUS]

[ENDING]
   G/B                    C2     D  Em7
My life my praise every - thing  I  own
   C2        G/B       D      Em7
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
   C2        G/B       D      Em7
To Jesus the King on a manger throne
