I can tell you I'm nothing, and I will be telling the truth

I can say I am worthless, a hopeless sinner; that's true.

Oh, but that is just part of the story, I haven't told everything;
I was lost, reborn, and raised a child of the King!

And I'm a royal descendant of a King from Jerusalem,
I'm part of the bloodline of David, that's who I am;
And I claim kinship to Isaac, to Jacob, and Abraham;
I'm a Royal descendant of a King from Jerusalem!

How in this world can I stand and say such a thing,

To say I am royal and to claim that my Father's a King?
I'll have to take you to an altar where it happened many years ago;
I met this King, I was washed in His blood, and that's all I know.

And I'm a royal descendant of a King from Jerusalem,
I'm part of the bloodline of David, that's who I am;
And I claim kinship to Isaac, to Jacob, and Abraham;
I'm a Royal descendant of a King from Jerusalem!
