Jesus the King - Jordan Legaspi

You are the King of kings
born in a manger
to offer the beautiful place for us

You are the King of kings
road to the temple on a donkey
to offer us horses for our journey

You are the King of kings
crowned with thorns
to offer us the precious stones

You are the King of kings
seated on the tree
to offer us the comfort we can own

You are the King of kings
Whose reign is without end
to offer us the salvation
- the life everlasting

Jordan Legaspi (20th century) The Philippines

Jordan Legaspi is not the poet's real name, but s/he doesn't say what it is
