Jesus Is King

By Matthew West

Six hours on a Friday
Stood three crosses on a hill
One Man there in the middle
Innocent but up there still

Three nails into His hands and feet
Arms stretched open wide
A crown of thorns upon His head
The crowd yelled "Crucify"

"Kingof the Jews" is what they wrote
Oh but soon the world would know

Jesus is King, Jesus He reigns
There's only one Savior
There's only one Name
That breaks every chain
That bows every knee
And when He returns
The whole earth will see
Jesus is King

Two thousand years have come and gone
And there's still one empty tomb
That grave was just a doorway
To new life for me and you

They can try to silence Heaven
But one Truth will never change
The King they tried to bury
He's alive and rules today

Jesus is King, Jesus He reigns
There's only one Savior
There's only one Name
That breaks every chain
That bows every knee
And when He returns
The whole earth will see
Jesus is King

Jesus
Jesus
Jesus is King

Jesus
Jesus

Jesus is
Seated on His throne
Clothed in majesty
And when He comes to bring us home
Every soul will sing

Jesus is King, Jesus He reigns
There's only one Savior
There's only one Name
That breaks every chain
That bows every knee
And when He returns
The whole earth will see
Jesus is King

Jesus
Jesus
Jesus is King

Oh Jesus
Jesus
Jesus is King

Jesus
Jesus
Jesus is King

Jesus
Jesus

Jesus is
Seated on His throne
Clothed in majesty
And when He comes to bring us home
Every soul will sing

Jesus is King
