Words and music by Bob Hartman Based on Revelation 19:11-21
It's an age-old score that's got to be settled It's an age-old debt that's got to be paid When the King breaks through in all of His glory To claim His throne and the world that He made The nations wait with their armies gathered With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs There will be no peace in Armageddon valley Till the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes When He arrives He will conquer them all Take back the ground given after the fall
(Chorus) All the King's horses and all the King's men Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been All the King's horses and all the King's men Gonna put this world back together again Gonna put this world back together
On a great white horse the King will come riding He's the One they call Faithful and True With His eyes of fire and blood dipped clothing He had a name nobody else knew
And by His side ride the armies of heaven Dressed in linen clean and white as the snow Riding down to earth with a vengeance so holy For a one-day battle that will trample their foe And when the dust and the smoke disappears The King will reign for a thousand years
When the lion lays down with the lamb There'll be peace in the land of Abraham They will beat their swords into plows When every tongue declares and every knee bows
