*LYRICS - Jesus, King of Heaven* ------------ Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven You were born so long ago In a manger with the oxen In the land I do not know I read how you healed the leper How you calmed the raging sea Tell me, Jesus, King of Heaven What has that to do with me? Far away across the ocean On a hill of grief and woe There the stormy clouds did gather As you bled and suffered so Was I there with John and Peter When the empty tomb they found? Was I there when Doubting Thomas Touched your side and then bowed down? My heart is warm within me You were standing at the door Now I know, King of Heaven Who you planned salvation for Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven What have I to do with Thee? Loving friend and precious Savior You mean everything to me [x2] Turn on captions (CC) to see the lyrics on screen This song features on the new Christmas album li.sten.to/WeDontNeedAnythingThisYear 🎄✨

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Mrs. Petersen, when you sing I can hear each of your children's voices in yours. Thank you for sharing your beautiful instrument with us, the voices of your family.
Nothing better than an angelic and majestic voice to sing the birth and glory of Jesus King of Heaven. What a magnificent interpretation, with gentleness, sobriety, and respect. 🙏🥹 This is really my favorite from your album!
Gosh, WHAT a special song this is! So touching, it moved me to tears. It is such a wonderful surprise to have your mom do the singing. It's straight from heart to heart and she's got such a lovely voice! Thank YOU for sharing this jewel with your fans around the globe, and Thank YOU for being such conscious & dedicated messengers of Christ in our world, bringing Light and healing Harmony into countless lives. You will never know just how many lives you touch with your music, your voices, your lyrics and what "trail of goodness" your musical footprints is leaving behind. Blessings & deep appreciation to each & everyone of you guys, as well as to your surrounding (invisible) "swarm of helpers", like Aaron and everybody else! Although they are active behind the scenes, their work is essential to the impact you all are having. God bless! Maria S. whom you met in Gistel...
Mom is very good. I have been following you for a long time. It was a very nice surprise. Big thanks to mom.Happy Christmas (Türkiyeden sevgiler tüm ailye 😊)
Normally Mom is content to let the other stars shine. But here she shows she's got some twinkle too! What a gentle, touching performance. Merry Christmas all!
Not only a first for me seeing Mom sing! But that end of video Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer and the look on Mom's face had me totally cracking up!!
Yeah it's rare and precious to listen to mama singing. Our Lord means everything to me too... The king of kings. Thanks for sharing ♥ blessings from France.
I’d been looking for a song from mom, sitting here Christmas morning when I discovered this! Had to go download it, The Petersens are helping build my non-CCM song playlist!
When I saw the Petersens play in Glasgow, and Karen sang Ellen’s verse in Down to the River to Pray, I said to Matt backstage that I’d like to see his mum sing more often on RUclips. She really has got a beautiful voice.
Wonderful to see such a family performing beautiful music. Enjoyed hearing mother Peterson singing! We have seen a fair amount of videos and had not heard her before. We also really appreciate the wholesome appearance and modesty of this family! A breath of fresh air in today's society. Looking forward to more!
Karen pleace sing again. I was full of tears when you singed. It was your voice. And your compassion. First time i have heard you sing. Thank you Karen. Thank you ! 🌞👍🎄🎅❤
Sublime melody that deserves to be known throughout the planet. There are still so many wonderful songs that are truly unknown! Karen's voice is perfect for this song. We, the most assiduous fans, already knew that Mamma could sing, even very well, but now the Petersens' general public will also have the pleasure of hearing her splendid voice as a soloist. Obviously Ellen and Julianne's harmonies, Katie and Emmett's solos and Matt and Mamma's rhythmic base are also splendid. Practically another masterpiece by everyone! Thank you! 🙏🏼❤
@@emmajo1925 Definitely Emma. This family does not fail to amaze us. Every time we discover a new talent! Although... to be honest.... we Patreons have already known this for some time! 😉 A very happy weekend to you too!
Doubting Thomas became a great Apostle, believer and missionary, actually founding the first churches in India, and actually the whole town of Chennai, which is also infamous for being one of the hottest cities in all of India. I am talking about climate: I just were there a month ago and I am used to travel in the tropics, but for the first time ever i were on the brink of a heatstroke. Even Doubting Thomas could do, so can you! God Bless and Merry Christmas!
(Grand) Mama Petersen - you have a lovely singing voice - and it fits this piece beautifully. There's something right at Christmas about a mother singing. I hope in the New Year we'll hear you singing again when you're happy to do so. Happy Christmas from near Gloucester (England).
Thank you Karen for this song! Last year in Russia, OH, I asked you why you never sang lead on a song and you said that the group had 5 leads why would they need 6. Now we know why! That was so sweet!
I love Karen's vocals in this. She's the perfect lead with Julianne's and Ellen's harmonies being spot on. The singing was angelic. I'm not sure who was responsible for the arrangement, but the instrumentation supported this beautifully. I'm not sure Matt's guitar work and Julianne's mandolin get enough credit, and throughout this they provided a solid bedrock for the entire song. And I've been waiting for that outro! Bless you all.
Hey Petersens! OMG! This is the first time I've seen "Mom" sing! Oh sweet Oogley-moogley, you are absolutely wonderful! As is this song! I am very much looking forward to watching all your Christmas vids this season. 💕 Thank you!
Lovely! So excited to see you again in Council Bluffs tomorrow evening! I bought my ticket months ago, and the time is finally here! 🤠 The last time I saw y’all there, I introduced some family members to your music for the first time, and they were absolutely blown away!
Sooooo great to hear mom taking the lead here, and a great job she did, too. As far as the tag on at the end, I never believe you can top your last, but you always manage. Love the dead pan on Mama.
Hi. I have been following you wonderful folks for some time, and needless to say, I love your music. This tune is especially nice. I love it and it is wonderful to hear Mom. I wish you folks the Happiest of Holidays (I love Jesus, too!), a peaceful and Merry Christmas, and a Music-Making New Year!
I was blessed to be able to see them perform this live just last night in Logan Utah! They are so much better live. If you ever have a chance to see them, don't miss out! Petersen's you are fantastic!
Beautifully sung by you Karen. Such a talented family and not forgetting Emmett who is an amazing Dobro player and vocalist. I had the pleasure of saying hi to you Karen when your recent UK tour brought the band to Leeds in Yorkshire. You were so sweet and you sang in that show too. You sang beautifully. Hope you’re enjoying being a grandma. Amazing family ❤
*LYRICS - Jesus, King of Heaven*
------------
Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
You were born so long ago
In a manger with the oxen
In the land I do not know
I read how you healed the leper
How you calmed the raging sea
Tell me, Jesus, King of Heaven
What has that to do with me?
Far away across the ocean
On a hill of grief and woe
There the stormy clouds did gather
As you bled and suffered so
Was I there with John and Peter
When the empty tomb they found?
Was I there when Doubting Thomas
Touched your side and then bowed down?
My heart is warm within me
You were standing at the door
Now I know, King of Heaven
Who you planned salvation for
Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
What have I to do with Thee?
Loving friend and precious Savior
You mean everything to me [x2]

How lovely. Mom gets five stars for such a touching and soulful performance.
A very rare "get it mama" lead vocal❤❤❤ Karen's voice is as precious as the lyrics 😊
does this change to "get it gramma" ?
@@bgoryca6293 lol!! Perhaps!!
Thrilled to hear Mama finally sing. I imagine she’s the first singing voice the “kids” heard as she sang them to sleep. Thank you for sharing with us!
So beautiful and to see Karen doing lead vocals.
The Git it Mama club has to be going nuts! In all seriousness, that was awesome, and she really embodied the mood of the song.
Mama’s look is priceless.
First time I've heard Karen sing lead, and she did an amazing job!
definitely one of the most talented families under the sun. bravo
Very soothing, Mrs. Petersen!
Now I know why they are such wonderful musicians and singer. Mom's DNA
