Today, we'll take a modern spin on the same idea.
I saw the video (brand-spanking new, by the way) by Audio Adrenaline for Kings & Queens and my heart was devastated by the lyrics. It must have broken 255 times while I watched and listened. That's a heartbreaking rate of 1 break per second.
I've been checking iTunes to see if the single is available yet. Nope. Dern. But, I will let you know when it is available. In the meantime, watch the video, read the lyrics, crack your Bible to Matthew 25, visit the Hands And Feet Project, and love the least of these.
Kings & Queens
Audio Adrenaline for Hands & Feet Project
Little hands
Shoeless feet
Lonely eyes looking back at me
Will we leave behind the innocent
to grieve?
On their own
On the run
When their lives have only begun
These could be our daughters and
our sons
And just like a drum
I can hear their hearts beating
I know my God won’t let them be
defeated
Every child has a dream to belong
and to be loved
Boys become kings
Girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love
When we love the least of these
Then they will be
Brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
When we love
When we love the least of these
Break our hearts
Once again
Help us to remember when
We were only children hoping for
a friend
Won’t you look around
These are the lives that the
world has forgotten
Waiting for doors of our hearts
and our homes to open
Boys become kings
Girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love
When we love the least of these
Then they will be
Brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
When we love
When we love the least of these
When we love the least of these
If not us
Who will be
Like Jesus
To the least of these
If not us
Tell me who will be like Jesus
Like Jesus to the least of these
Boys become kings
Girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love
When we love the least of these
Then they will be
Brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
We will love
We will love the least of these (6x)
I just love this song!
