Doves descending on the pure of heart, (all God's children)
He speaks a word and the waters part, (for all God's children)
I've seen the rain fall on sinner and saint,
And I've seen the Spirit call the small and the great,
Who'll feel the rush of his wings? - Beggars and kings.
Love descending from a holy place, (all God's children)
The King of Glory wears a beggar's face, (all God's children)
I've seen the sun melt the cold winter snow,
I've seen the humble rise, the mighty laid low,
All under judgement, he'll bring beggars and kings.
Madmen and children, we're lost in the night,
A stranger, a saviour holds out the light to beggars and kings.
Beggars and kings,
Beggars and kings.
Songs ascending through the shattered sky, (all God's children)
The humble follow while the proud men cry, (all God's children)
I've seen the sword slay the rich and the poor,
And I've seen the heart at rest through winter and war,
Who knows what tomorrow will bring for beggars and kings?
