The King of Glory (2011)

[Verse 1]
You're the Seed of Eve, Abraham's Offspring
Psalm 2:6 - ordained to be God's King
You sit on the Throne as the descendant of David
'Cause You rose from the grave and ascended to claim it
Songs ring from Your Church as we sing of Your worth
'Cause You're the ruler of the kings of the Earth
So Your saints praise
'Cause You're the King of all Kings, so all other kings have lowercase k's
Without origin, You're before all things
The source and spring of life, You roar and sing
Everything into existence, ordering
Thе world and then You were born with mеn
You bore our sin, absorbin' the torment
We would've felt in Hell, but it was poured on Him
So Your Lord's avenged and we're born again
But first, before You restore all things
The Highness from the winepress, splattering
Blood on His garments as He's battling
The wrath You'll bring will shatter kings
The Word is the sword that You'll swing
Jesus, why has it pleased Your Father
To exalt You as supremely sovereign?
Well, because of who You are and what You done
And just because You're His beloved Son
The Father's been a Christ supremacist
Way before He said “Let there be light” in Genesis
The Son of Man from Heaven
He's been given an indestructible kingdom – Daniel 7
'Cause He's so impressed with You
And with Your perfect life and death and resurrection, too
You've made God's glory the top priority
So Your reward is You're giving all authority
Over this huge universe
Plus, not to mention, over this puny Earth
This Lord and risen King's, of course, omnipotent
Above every single force resisting Him
The Son is elite
All enemies have been declared under His feet
So even if it don't seem they've come to defeat
Since it's written, it's as good as done, it's complete
“But aren't you ascribing Jesus
Too much power, since He's that guy who died in weakness?”
Wow, you're mistaken
You miss Christ's words in John 10:18, I'm rowdy to state them
“No one takes My life from Me
I lay it down on My own accord to show 'em, Lord
That life is in My hand
And because I Am the I Am
So I stand
Daniel 4:35 – it's impossible to thwart My plan”
So we profess that He reigns
We access, in and outta death, He'll check His keychain

[Chorus 1]
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee

[Spoken]
There's not a single inch of this universe
In which Jesus does not stand over and say
“Mine”

[Verse 2]
When it comes to judge, this King is a beast
But when it comes to love, this King is a priest
Who's ever heard of an all-compassionate potentate
Who asks us to run fast to His throne of grace?
What King would serve His subjects
While being judged for those who deserve His judgment?
King of gentleness, oh Lord, You're selfless
Committed to defending the poor and helpless
Unlike leaders of our society
He never ever rules harsh or violently
To enlarge His dynasty, it's never spread
With a heart of tyranny, instead
His kingdom spreads with His message of love
He overthrows Satan's kingdom with His death and His blood
Gently humbles our hearts, pride crumbles apart
Singing to our King, “How lovely Thou art”
Can't compare His uniqueness
This strong King helps those aware of their weakness
Though millions of angels praise You in Your Temple
You still serve as a priest, faithful and You're gentle
And still, from Your Throne, You're pursuin'
The brokest o' humans, hopeless, they groan in their ruins
So You atone for our lewd sins
So in our wounded hearts, still joy ever flows in communion
His cross took the penalty, He washes assembly
As our King, You conquer our enemies
Like the world and Satan and our monsterous flesh
And the last enemy to be conquered is death
So come under the realm of His blessed dominion
You must humble yourself and take refuge in Him
When ruined, He loved on us, now subduin' our stubborness
He's given His Spirit of Truth to rule and to govern us
'Stead of cleavin' to porn or the foulest sin
Since He is our Lord, let's bow to Him
Christ, we bow our hearts
You angels worship Him with a hundred thousand harps
'Cause guilt is removed and shame is erased
Now Jesus reigns and He reigns in His grace
Now that the dominion of sin is destroyed
Welcome to the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of joy

[Chorus 2]
You're the exalted sovereign authority
Oh, King of Righteousness, we're adorin' Thee
You're the supreme sovereign authority
Oh, King of Love, Your grace is adorning me
You're the exalted sovereign authority
Oh, King of Life, You reign immortally
Oh, holy sovereign authority
Please let Your kingdom reign more and more in me

[Verse 3]
God's exalted this Jesus sovereign and He's just
Ruling and doing all that He pleases
The King of time (His is the pendulum)
The King of now (and this His millennium)
History's unfolding just as He planned it
His decrees will occur, because He's commanded
All saints or died or killed, in death, are resting
They reign now with Christ 'til the resurrection
Yo, every massive sea and galaxy
And all the fossil fuels or molecules
And microscopic tiny objects
Or angelic beings or hellish demons
Were created by Him and the reason is this
So Jesus can show His preeminence
And the kingdom of Satan and man
Only exist for Him to show that He's greater than them
So here is the reason every soul exists
For Him to show He rules over it
As superior, I raise my voice
'Cause He'll rule over you in wrath or mercy, you make the choice
But He actually so shows that He's ruling
He's even sovereign over your choosing
So you'll come if you're elected, surely
But the point is this: either way, He'll get His glory
So surrender your kingdom by lettin' this King in
He'll cleanse you from sin, then pleasure, He's givin'
Your treasure's an inkling
Compared to His inheritance, it's much better when in Him
So let Him clean you in His blood over your evil and your crud
He'll redeem you by His love, He'll receive you when He comes
Otherwise, when you see Him beamin' as the sun
Dude, I guarantee you're gonna meet Him as your judge
Behold, the Son of Man revealed
You're right, only God can judge you, and He will
He'll let you think you “gonna run this town tonight”
But when He comes, you'll hug the ground in fright
Behold, His awful majesty
That every soul, ready or not, will have to see
At the sight of this Awesome Sovereign
They'll prefer Mount Everest to fall upon them
Rather than see the face of the Lamb
He'll line up every soul since creation began
Behold, God's main purpose of Judgment Day
Is to put the glory of His Son on display
He'll display how He's the King of Righteousness
Sinners will feel His sting and strikin' fist
He'll display the justice of His Father
When He'll judges sinner and they're crushed under His slaughter
He'll display the greatness of His love
When His children see their sins were paid for by the Judge
He'll display how He's the King of Life
Who conquered death, the risen living Christ
He'll display who's the King of the greatest of greats
[?] stand holy, too, 'cause He was slain in their place
He'll display how He's the most handsome of men
But that's seen most in giving His ransom for sin
He'll display His brilliant, bright, blazing beauty
And His gentle love to embrace and soothe me
Exalted as Lord, God, King of Kings
Then all Your offspring will sing

[Chorus 1]
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee
You're God, all gods
Enthrone You in royalty
And with the oil of glee
Enjoy, He's anointed Thee

[Verse 4]
We'll see His face, His supreme in greatness
He's receivin' praises for bein' gracious
By all people, races, heathen nations
Will acknowledge Him as King, even Satan
Then the kingdoms of Earth, the walls of Babylon
Will be dissolved and fallen and smashed and gone
Establishin' His everlastin' dominion
Over His Queen, Jesus happily singing
Expressin' to Thee the glory o' Your fame
Forever will be the adoring of Your name
Across the New Earth, [?] will adore Thee
Then the whole Earth will really be filled with Your glory
