[Verse 1]
Kings raised towers to scrape the sky
Stamped their names where the nations cried
Rome had eagles, Babylon gold
Genghis rode with a heart so cold
Power, glory, iron and flame
Every empire swore its name
But dust rolls over every throne
The mighty fall and die alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Man keeps reaching for the crown
Building kingdoms tumbling down
[Chorus]
But God don’t move the way men do
He broke the world with mercy true
Not by conquest, not by sword
But a servant bearing love of the Lord
Another way, another reign
Through sacrifice instead of gain
What men call weakness heaven calls strength
Love goes farther than power’s length
[Verse 2]
If man ruled heaven, would princes rise
Born in palaces before men’s eyes?
Would a king step down to feed the poor
Touch the sick at a beggar’s door?
Would he walk with those the proud despise
Give the blind and broken life to rise?
Would he die for those who cursed his name?
No earthly ruler plays that game
[Pre-Chorus]
All the gold men kill to hold
Cannot warm a grave grown cold
[Chorus]
But God don’t move the way men do
He broke the world with mercy true
Not by conquest, not by sword
But a servant bearing love of the Lord
Another way, another reign
Through sacrifice instead of gain
What men call weakness heaven calls strength
Love goes farther than power’s length
[Verse 3]
Men chase titles, build their brands
Stacking kingdoms with restless hands
Trading souls for a higher seat
Climbing ladders on weary feet
But the greatest washed another’s feet
Walked in mercy through every street
He said the first shall be the last
And only love is built to last
[Chorus]
But God don’t move the way men do
He lifts the low and makes things new
Not by conquest, not by sword
But a servant bearing love of the Lord
Another way, another reign
Through sacrifice instead of gain
Crowns grow dim and riches rust
But love outlives the throne and dust
[Bridge]
Where are Caesars now?
Where are tyrants now?
In the ground… in the ground…
Where’s the glory men defend?
Buried where all kingdoms end
But love rolled back a borrowed stone
And opened up a greater home
[Final Chorus]
God showed a way men never knew
A kingdom built on making new
Not by fear and not by might
But laying darkness down with light
Another way, another reign
Beyond this dust, beyond this pain
What men call loss is heaven’s prize
Through surrender souls can rise
Power fades and kingdoms cease
But love leads on to endless peace
Another way, forever known
A kingdom built not claimed, but sown
[Outro (driving chant)]
Power fades… money falls…
Love alone outlives it all…
Love alone outlives it all…
