►LYRICS - Jesus, King of Heaven
Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
You were born so long ago
In a manger with the oxen
In the land I do not know

I read how you healed the leper
How you calmed the raging sea
Tell me, Jesus, King of Heaven
What has that to do with me?

Far away across the ocean
On a hill of grief and woe
There the stormy clouds did gather
As you bled and suffered so

Was I there with John and Peter
When the empty tomb they found?
Was I there when Doubting Thomas
Touched your side and then bowed down?

My heart is warm within me
You were standing at the door
Now I know, King of Heaven
Who you planned salvation for

Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
What have I to do with Thee?
Loving friend and precious Savior
You mean everything to me [x2]

Kenny & Amanda Smith had this song for about six or seven years before they recorded it for their 2012 album, Catch Me If I Try. A girl, Tami Lee Pockstaller, had walked up to them at the IBMA festival (International Bluegrass Music Association) and handed them a CD of songs she had written. This song was number two on that demo, and it blew them away.

►The Petersens:
We celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA. The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz. Learn more about our family on our website https://petersenband.com
