A Royal Banquet


(Verse 1)
E       A                B     A
He knew love and joy and tears
   E       A                 B    F#m
He felt compassion, pain and fear
       C#m              F#m
And he longs to hold us 
       C#m           Bsus4  B  E  B
In the shadow of his wings.
E      A               B    A
For he knows our weaknesses
    E        A            B      F#m
And he wants us to be the guests:
        C#m              E       B     E  B  F#m
A royal banquet with the King of Kings
        C#m              A    E  A  B  F#m  E  A  B
A royal banquet with the King of Kings


(Chorus)
        A                    B
(Women)  Who shall we say he is?
        E   B     A       G#m     A
(Men)    In the beginning was the Word
        A                    B
(Women)  Who shall we say he is?
                 E      B    C#sus4  C#
(Men)    And the Word became Flesh
         F#m          E              A
(Both)   And the Word lived among us
                E    A        A  B  F#m  E  A  B
         And we have seen his glory...


(Verse 2)
E     A             B   A
Fully God and fully man
    E      A               B   F#m
Our Lord, eternal great "I am"
        C#m         F#m
And we, undeserving 
         C#m             Bsus4  B  E  B
Know the fulness that he brings
E     A         B    A
Mercy for humanity
 E        A            B  F#m
Abundance for our poverty
        C#m              E       B     E  B  F#m
A royal banquet with the King of Kings
        C#m              A    E  A  B  F#m  E  A  B
A royal banquet with the King of Kings


(Repeat chorus and finish with...)

E        A                 B    A
And - we know we're in his care
  E         A               B     F#m
Until - the glorious day we share
        C#m              E       B     E  B  F#m
A royal banquet with the King of Kings
        C#m              A    E  A     B  F#m
A royal banquet with the King of Kings
        C#m              E       B     E  B  F#m
A royal banquet with the King of Kings
        C#m        A    B   A    B  E
A royal banquet  - with the King of Kings !
