A SONG BY SEAN MCMAHON TO THE TUNE OF “GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY”
All Hail King Jesus Christ
(lyrics by Sean McMahon, to the tune of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” by Stan Jones)
Rejoice, O Jerusalem, your King approaches near
The time has come to end the rule of death and the reign of fear
No prowling Lion e’er again shall gnash his teeth at thee
Behold the Lamb of God rides in for love’s true victory
Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!
All Hail King Jesus Christ
In the beginning, He split darkness from the light
And now, the daughters of the day from the sons of the night!
Riding in humility, by truth He conquers all —
Whether goats or sheep, whether great or small
Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!
All Hail King Jesus Christ
But what sort of conqueror rides in with a white flag?
What sort of rider rides in on a humble ass?
Surrendering to enemies, and suffering to death
Serving another’s sentence, paying another’s debts?
Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!
All Hail King Jesus Christ
What could we ever add to Him, simply waving palms?
For He meets us in our need, with His words of healing balm
He didn’t come for His own glory, but to save, and to serve
So that all receive His healing, follow Him, and learn
Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!All Hail King Jesus Christ
