    Behind The Song: Hillsong Worship Shares The Heart Behind Their Song “King Of Kings”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 24 September, 2019 | 4

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Hillsong Worship. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “King Of Kings.”

    “We were talking about our desire to write a song about exploring the tenor of scriptures, encapsulating everything we believe as believers. Jason (Ingram) showed us this melody he had been sitting on for a little while and all of a sudden lyrics from Brooke started flowing starting in the first verse in which she references Genesis and then slowly but surely parts of this scripture started to get unpacked in these lines. The song came about really organically and quite quickly if we’re being honest.” – Scott Ligertwood (Hillsong Worship)

    “King Of Kings” Lyrics

    Verse 1
    In the darkness we were waiting
    Without hope without light
    Till from heaven You came running
    There was mercy in Your eyes
    To fulfill the law and prophets
    To a virgin came the Word
    From a throne of endless glory
    To a cradle in the dirt

    Chorus:
    Praise the Father
    Praise the Son
    Praise the Spirit three in one
    God of glory Majesty
    Praise forever to the King of Kings

    Verse 2
    To reveal the kingdom coming
    And to reconcile the lost
    To redeem the whole creation
    You did not despise the cross
    For even in Your suffering
    You saw to the other side
    Knowing this was our salvation
    Jesus for our sake You died

    Verse 3
    And the morning that You rose
    All of heaven held its breath
    Till that stone was moved for good
    For the Lamb had conquered death
    And the dead rose from their tombs
    And the angels stood in awe
    For the souls of all who’d come
    To the Father are restored

    Verse 4
    And the Church of Christ was born
    Then the Spirit lit the flame
    Now this gospel truth of old
    Shall not kneel shall not faint
    By His blood and in His Name
    In His freedom I am free
    For the love of Jesus Christ
    Who has resurrected me
