Who Would Imagine A King

Today I have been listening to the soundtrack from “The Preacher’s Wife.” It’s a little bit old-school in terms of the music style, but I have always loved that movie and also really enjoy the fact that the soundtrack has so many songs that relate to faith and the true meaning of Christmas. I really recommend the film if you have not seen it. It’s a great Christmas movie.

There’s one song in particular that I find beautiful and that really touches my heart whenever I listen to it (and maybe even brings a tear to my eye...). It always makes me imagine Jesus as a teeny tiny baby, and how amazing it is that a king with monumental, life-changing purpose came to us in such a delicate form. The third verse of this song is my favorite part. The world is different because He was here, and that is something worth proclaiming both in heaven and on earth!

Here are the lyrics…

"Who Would Imagine A King"

Mommies and daddies always believe

That their little angels are special indeed

And you could grow up to be anything

But who would imagine a king

A shepherd or teacher is what you could be

Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea

Or maybe a carpenter building things

But who would imagine a king

It was so clear when the wise men arrived

And the angels were singing your name

That the world would be different ‘cause you were alive

That's what heaven stood still to proclaim

One day an angel said quietly

That soon he would bring something special to me

And of all the wonderful gifts he could bring

Who would imagine, who could imagine

Who would imagine a king
