One by one, Jesse's sons
Stood before the prophet
Their father knew a king
Would soon be found
And each one passed except the last
No one thought to call him
Surely, he would never wear a crown

But when others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
Even though your life seems filled
With ordinary things
In just a moment, He can touch you
And everything will change
When others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king

One by one, problems come
And dreams get shattered
And sometimes it's hard to understand
But things like chance and circumstance
They don't really matter
Our Father holds tomorrow in hands

And when others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
Even though your life seems filled
With ordinary things
In just a moment, He can touch you
And everything will change
When others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
Well, he wasn't the oldest
He wasn't the strongest
Chosen on that day
Yet the giants fell
And nations trembled
For they stood in his way

And when other see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
Even though your life seems filled
With ordinary things
In just a moment, He can touch you
And everything will change
When others see a shepherd boy
God may see a king
God may see a king
