[Verse 1] Athaliah sees her son dead and moves to destroy the royal seed. The child remains hidden in the temple for six years while Athaliah reigns. Sabbath guard companies receive positions around the house and king. Joash is brought out, crowned, given the testimony. [Pre-Chorus] The doors were shut, the sentence had been sealed, Then one brave step brought hidden things revealed. [Chorus] The King's Son upon the Throne, the chamber held its breath, A sealed decree could turn a realm to death. Yet courage crossed the threshold of the throne, And hidden providence made justice known. [Verse 2] Athaliah is removed from the temple and killed by the horse gate. Jehoiada establishes covenant among God, king, and people. Baal's house and images are destroyed, and Mattan is killed. The seven-year-old king does right while Jehoiada instructs him. [Bridge] When repairs lag, a chest is placed beside the altar for contributions. Money is counted and given directly to faithful workmen. Hazael threatens Jerusalem, and Joash sends sacred treasures to turn him away. Joash's servants assassinate him, and Amaziah reigns in his place. [Final Chorus] The King's Son upon the Throne, the chamber held its breath, A sealed decree could turn a realm to death. Yet courage crossed the threshold of the throne, And hidden providence made judgment known. [Outro] The gate stood open after fear had fled. Justice remembered every word that had been said.
