Song Meaning

Brandon Lake opens this recording with an unedited spoken introduction rather than jumping straight into music, explaining the choice directly: after trying more elaborate ways to start the night, he 'felt God leading' him toward something simpler — just naming who's actually present in the room. What follows is an extended list of titles for Jesus, each one paired with a specific kind of person rather than staying abstract.

'King of the poor, king of the lowly, king of the broken, king of the lonely' pulls on the same territory Isaiah 9:6 opens up in naming Jesus 'Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God' — a king whose titles reach toward the marginalized rather than only the triumphant. 'King of the sinner and King of the saint' refuses to split the room into two separate audiences; the same King claims both categories at once. Revelation 19:16's declaration of 'King of Kings, and Lord of Lords' sits behind the sheer accumulation of titles — not one impressive claim, but dozens, stacked until the scope of who's actually in the room becomes the whole point of the introduction.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Hey, Charleston
It's Brandon
For the past few months, I've been trying to figure out how to start these nights
And after several attempts of creative ideas
I felt God leading me to start this night with something simple
Declaring what's most important and most powerful:
"Who He is"
The world today is a little different than it was yesterday
All of us walked in this room tonight, carrying something
Heartache, confusion, disappointment, or doubt
But no matter what you've been through or what you're facing
I want you to know that I am so glad that you are here
'Cause there's someone else in the room
And that someone is
The King of peace and the King of freedom
King of light, hope and healing
King of earth and King of Heaven
King of the rebel and the resurrection
He's King of the barren, the young and the old
The King of the garden, the King of the grave
King of the sinner and King of the saint
He's King of the revival and King of the movement
King of all eternity and He's King of this very moment

King of the poor, King of the lowly
King of the broken, King of the lonely
King of the hopeless, King of the gone-too-fars
King of the lost, King of the guilty
King of the misfit, King of the filthy
King of the critics, King of the brand-new-start
