Petra - All the King's Horses lyrics

Words and Music by Bob Hartman

It's an age old score that's got to be settled

It's an age old debt that's got to be paid

When the King breaks through in all of His glory

To claim His throne and the world that He made

The nations wait with their armies gathered

With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs

There will be no peace in Armegeddon valley

Till the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes

When He arrives He will conquer them all

Take back the ground given after the fall

[Chorus]

All the King's horses and all the King's men

Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been

All the King's horses and all the King's men

Gonna put this world back together again

Gonna put this world back together

On a great white horse the King will come riding

He's the One they call Faithful and True

With His eyes of fire and blood dipped clothing

He had a name nobody else knew

And by his side rode the armies of heaven

Dressed in linen clean and white as the snow

Riding down to earth with a vengeance so holy

For a one-day battle that will trample their foe

And when the dust and the smoke disappears

The King will reign for a thousand years

When the lion lays down with the lamb

There'll be peace in the land of Abraham

They will beat their swords into plows

When every tongue declares and every knee bows
