How Many Kings?

I've been hearing a great new Christmas song on the radio lately called How Many Kings? by a Canadian group called Downhere. it took me a while to find any details about it online, but I finally found it and thought I'd share it with you!

I've posted the lyrics below, and you can hear a recording on their MySpace page. This song wonderfully emphasizes the Father's love in His gift to us on that first Christmas. Enjoy!

Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we've projected
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -
Just a child
Is this who we've waited for? 'cause...

How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we've waited for?

How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me.

All for me, all for you
All for me, all for you
