I love the song from the movie, The Lion King, called "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (Wimoweh). The word "Wimoweh" is a mishearing of the chorus of "uyimbube" which means "He is a lion" in Zulu.
What a great song that could be re-written all about the real Lion King - the King of kings - the LORD Jesus Christ - Who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! The chorus is:
He is a Lion!
He is a Lion!
He is a Lion!
He is a Lion!
Over and over again - He is a Lion!
And since Jesus Christ is the conquering Lion Who reigns tonight and now and forever, we His children have NOTHING to fear! Nothing to fear tonight; nothing to fear tomorrow; nothing to fear forever!
And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
Revelation 5:5
I changed the lyrics of this song to be about Jesus Christ in the city of Philadelphia. It would make a great lullaby to sing to your children before bed. Check it out:
