The King Above the Kings

INTRO (acoustic guitar) VERSE 1 Festus came to Caesarea, And the chief priests made their case, Asking him to send Paul upward, Plotting murder on the way. Many charges, none were proven, And Paul answered plain and true: "Neither against the Law nor temple, Nor Caesar have I wronged you." VERSE 2 "If I've done a thing deserving death, I do not refuse to die; But if none of this is true, No one can give me up to lie. I appeal to Caesar." Festus answered, After speaking with his men: "To Caesar you've appealed, To Caesar you shall go then." CHORUS The kings of earth may sit in judgment, Governors may rise and fall, But the King above the kings Is ruling over all. Every court and every chain Is carrying His word along; The road to Rome was His design, And He will make it strong. VERSE 3 Then Agrippa and Bernice entered With great pomp into the hall, With the captains and the leaders, And the notables of all. Festus said, "I have no charge to write To my lord about this man"; But the One who writes the story Had already set His plan. FINAL CHORUS OUTRO He is ruling over all.
