Rising Contemporary Christian star Chris August is currently #1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart – three weeks now – so it seems fitting that he would release a Christmas album in time for the holidays. Radio seems to have taken a liking to Chris August’s Come Now Our King‘s lyrics, which invite Jesus to take His rightful place as ruler of our hearts and lives. Come Now Our King‘s nontraditional beat and tempo also set this 2010 Christmas song apart from the other Christian singles currently making the rounds. August’s quality vocal relaxed delivery might also help Come Now Our King find audiences at country radio and Inspo. We’ll have to wait and see, won’t we?
COME NOW OUR KING Lyrics
Chris August
Bethlehem turns in tonight
A town lit up by candle light
All the children tucked in tight
Bethlehem turns in tonight
The angels start their whispering
About the one they’re welcoming
No one knows what’s soon to be
As the angels start their whispering
They sing glory in the highest
Come now our King
We’ve been waiting
Come now our King
Silence falls yet once again
The shepherds leave for Bethlehem
Baby’s cry soon welcomes them
Silence falls yet once again
They sing glory in the highest
Come now our King
We’ve been waiting
Come now our King
Glory,
Oh glory
You came here to save
Ooh Lord, we’ve been waiting so
Come now our King
Now my night has turned to day
An empty manger, empty grave
Baby born so I could say
Now my night has turned to day
They sing glory in the highest
Come now our King
We’ve been waiting
Come now our King
Come now our King
