What Am I?

chapter 9: Are you ready??

Tree looked at him like he knew the answer. "YOU KNOW WHO HELPED ME??"

Poppy knew the answer that Branch did not.

Tree continued. "The one true King is Who helped me. He knows how to be King because He was the first and is the everlasting King. He taught me what it means to rule. He calmed my overwhelming thoughts."

"Dad," Branch said. "What's a king?"

Tree laughed. "What's a king?" he repeated. He extended his hand and Branch accepted it. "Well, son...

What's a king? Well I'll tell ya.
It's something everyone should know
This is not only for royalties
So listen up and I will show...

Ruling is about being humble.
Understanding everyone's
joy and pain.
'Cause even Jesus brought
Himself low
He gave many things
and didn't expect any gain

What's a king?
It's about loving.
What's a king?
It's about care.
Even the King of all kings
came down in humility
to carry and take away all
we bear.

Poppy suddenly appeared next to Branch and held his hand. It was her turn to sing.

What's a king? Well, I'll tell ya.
It's something everyone should know.
This is not only for royalties
So listen up and I will show...

Being king is being like Jesus.
Be kind, care, and love the
good and bad.
It's about understanding because
it just makes everyone feel real glad.

What's a king?
It's about loving.
What's a king?
It's about care.
Even the King of all kings
came down in humility
to carry and take away all
we bear.

At that moment, every Troll and Bergen in Bergen Town came behind the three of them and sang together in harmony.

What's a king? Well I'll tell ya.
It's something everyone should know. This is not only for royalties
So listen up and I'll show...

Ruling is about caring for everyone,
doing whatever it needs to take.
Even if it means sacrifice.
'Cause even He did it for our sake.

What's a king?
It's about loving.
What's a king?
It's about care.
Even the King of all kings
came down in humility
to carry and take away all
we bear.

Branch's colors glowed with happiness. He was glad to finally understand. He was so glad that he sang the last few verses.

What's a king? Well I'll tell ya.
It's something everyone should know.
This is not only for royalties
So listen up and I will show...

It's about love, joy, peace,
and kindess.
It's about patience and
goodness.
It's about self-control and gentleness.
And let's not forget faithfulness.
That's what a king is.

What's a king(that's what a king is)
What's a king?
What's a king(that's what a king is)
Oh what's a king...
Yeah...
THAT'S A KING!!!!

Everyone laughed with great joy, especially Branch. He was now happy, knowing that being a king is not that hard. A king is like...well, living like Jesus.

"So, my boy, do you understand now?" Tree asked Branch.

Branch looked at Poppy with loving and thankful eyes. Then he looked back at his dad. "A king is living like Jesus. Follow what He did and I'll be fine."

"Amen. There are times when we fail, but we have a loving God that will forgive and show us the way. All we have to do is ask." (James 1:5-8).

"Thanks, Dad." Branch said. He turned to everyone else who sang. "Thank you everyone for not giving up on me."

"YOU'RE WELCOME!!" Everyone yelled.

"So, Branch," Tree said, putting his hands on his shoulders. "ARE YOU READY??"
