My King Is Known by Love Crabb Family

Some are known by great authority
For kingdoms far as eyes can see
In royal robes, they rule from thrones
Waging war they overthrow the weak
And call it victory

My King is known by mercy
My King is known by grace
For the hope in his name
And a power that saves
My King is known by the cross
My King is known by an empty grave
Oh in all that he does
My King is known by love

I can almost see him even now
Rejected, with thorns upon his brown
What kind of King would leave his throne
And make my sin and shame his own
Yet he gave his life for me
He gave his life for me

A love that welcomes everyone
As his daughters and his sons
And no one is turned away
