Verse:
     E          A              E
A King met a beggar, on lonely road one day,
            B                              E
a strange occurrence took place as you will see.
          A                                    E
The beggar fell down on his knees and cried oh pardon me.
         B                      E
I feel unworthy in thy presence to be.

That King was Jesus, the King of kings, and that lowly beggar was me.

Verse:

He Who was rich, became so poor that a beggar rich might be.
     B                          E
The holy God, became the Son of man.
                     A                                E
That we the fallen sons of men, the sons of God might be.
         B                                 E
I can't explain it, God's wondrous saving plan.

I never dreamed there was a pow'r that could save a wretch like me
        B                            E
Until that day, the King passed by my way
                          A                            E
