Volume is power in this boisterous world 
Glory bestowed to those who are seen 
But what are we to make of the king 
Jesus the quiet and humble Nazarene 

He flipped over the tables of fortune 
And ran away from fame 
Disappeared from His followers 
And urged for secrecy after healing the lame 

Compassion became mysterious love 
A simple colt and no defense 
No fighting sword, no planned escape 
A traitor’s kiss and a willing arrest 

Equality with God He did not pursue 
He sacrificed himself on a tree 
While Ceasar declared, “I am God” 
You shall worship only me 

But Rome seemed to vanish 
Ceasar nowhere to be found 
The gentle, humble, and loving servant 
Has donned the eternal, spectacular, crown 

Volume is not power in this boisterous world 
Glory bestowed to those who are unseen 
So let us worship this mighty king 
Jesus the quiet and humble Nazarene
