“I Just Can’t Wait To Meet The King!”

This is a parody of "I Just Can't Wait to Meet the King" from The Lion King. Except this time it's about forerunners preparing the earth for Jesus' second coming! You might want to listen to the real version first or while you read these lyrics, just to make sure the tune makes sense with the words.
Cause I mean, after all, He is a lion... and Simba did leave for a time and then come back...



KEY:
Simba's lines : John the Baptist—or just a forerunner student
Zazu's lines : Teacher
Chorus : Forerunner students & teachers


I'm gonna be a messenger, so Enemy beware!
I've never seen a generation quite like this before.
I'm gonna be a forerunner and hasten back the Lord.
I’m fasting now, I pray in tongues, I'm a warrior in prayer!
In this season to the Lord you must cling.
Oh, I just can't wait to meet the King!

When we sing the Word,
Inside my heart is stirred,
Lord use me, I cry,
Teach me to prophesy!
Gaze upon His beauty all day,
Go fourth and prepare the way!

As the river starts to run, your Bible is not a toy.
As His fire consumes my soul, no man can steal my joy!
If this is where the Spirit is, then this is where we’ll stay,
So eat the scroll and know His Word; you’ve got to watch and pray!
In just a little while the bells will ring,
Oh, I just can't wait to meet the King!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look His glory’s shining bright!
Now go!
Let every student see what is in store,
Don’t be content now, but contend for MORE!
Holy Spirit is not a one-time thing,
Oh, I just can't wait to meet the King!
Oh, we just can't wait to meet the King!
Oh, I just can't wait...
Just can't wait…
To meet the King!
