Countdown for the king
In 1999 we ran a
Schools Millennium project in Felixstowe, emphasising that the whole of history
pivots around the coming of Jesus.
This was the title song for the project, which is self-explanatory & starts with
a countdown!
The chorus has a hint of musical tribute to ELO !
The lyrics of Countdown for the King are below:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
(cheer)
Countdown for the king Countdown for the king
The time has come for all the world For everyone to sing
Countdown for the king Countdown for the king
Everyone across the world Lift your voice and sing
Two thousand years ago God came to
earth as man
Bringing a hope for life And all that is to come
Now we commemorate A pinnacle of
time
Then we will celebrate When Christ returns again
No more death or mourning No more
crying or pain All old things will pass away
Every eye will see him Every knee will bow Praise and honour Glory and power for
ever
