Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bow Down (from Dirk Powell)
Subject: Lyr Add: WE BOW DOWN
That was my first thought, too. Then I thought, maybe the "praise song" with the lines (can't recall what the incipit is) "We bow down, and we crown You the King / King of all kings you will be".

Oh, here it is: "You are Lord of creation"...

"We Bow Down"

You are Lord of creation and Lord of my life,
Lord of the land and the sea;
You were Lord of the heavens before there was time,
And Lord of all lords You will be.

We bow down and we worship You Lord,
We bow down and we worship You Lord;
We bow down and we worship You Lord,
Lord of all lords You will be.

You are King of creation and King of my life,
King of the land and the sea;
You were King of the heavens before there was time,
And King of all kings You will be.

We bow down and we crown You the king,
We bow down and we crown You the king;
We bow down and we crown You the king,
King of all kings You will be.

Or perchance the "March of the Peers" from G&S's Iolanthe ("Bow, bow, ye lower middle classes") and my Jonah parody of it ("Bow, bow, ye Ninevitic masses")?
