Here's the first edition of hauntological Christian covers -- this one is à la first- or second-wave punk rock.
Be mesmerised by the theological correctness, shake your fist in a subversive victory dance, and crow your way into the mic.
Jesus Christ the King and Saviour
Sally Trethewey
Humble birth in Herod's reign
Jew and Deity
God was with them once for all
Shared humanity
John the Baptist knew His sign
Prophesied the Way
Turn to God, His Kingdom's near
Repent, believe, obey
CHORUS:
Jesus Christ the King and Saviour
Blessed Lord, Emmanuel
Living Word, God's Son, Messiah
The victor over Satan's realm
Jesus taught His Father's will
Truth with certainty
Showing from the Word of God
His authority
Challenging His enemies
Who refused to hear
He fulfilled all prophecies
His Majesty was clear
CHORUS
On the cross where Jesus reigned
In His Father's plan
Israel's Suff'ring Servant died
Our Passover Lamb
Many saw the Son of Man
Coming in the clouds
To the presence of His God
In glorious risen power
CHORUS
No-one knows when He'll return
For the Judgement Day
But He tells us, Wait in faith
Hope and watch and pray
This command from Jesus' lips:
Speak to all mankind
Make disciples in My Name
I'm with you for all time
CHORUS:
Jesus Christ the King and Saviour
Blessed Lord, Emmanuel
Living Word, God's Son, Messiah
The victor over Satan's realm
Jesus Christ the King and Saviour
Blessed Lord, Emmanuel
Living Word, God's Son, Messiah
The victor over Satan's realm
The victor over Satan's realm
The vic-tor over Sa-tan's reallllm
