From a seed of a woman the promise was born
The Word of the Father to come human form
Like a rose in the desert, so rare and so wild
The great surprise of the ages
The King had come to earth as a child
His life touched a people who conquered and bound
His words fell like seed on the dry thorny ground
They searched for a king, but were blind to the truth
The great surprise of the ages
The great surprise of the ages
The great surprise of the ages
The King had come but they never knew
The seed must be planted that it might give life
And so He was taken and sentenced to die
But this innocent victim was a Victor instead
The great surprise of the ages
The King has come. He rose from the dead
One day without warning this age will be done
Within every nation the harvest will come
We'll see the fruition of heaven's great plan
The great surprise of the ages
The great surprise of the ages
The great surprise of the ages
The King will come to earth once again
The King will come
The King will come
