King Jesus
Jeremy Camp's song 'King Jesus' celebrates the victory of Christ over death and sin. The lyrics recall the crucifixion, where the Lamb was slain, and the redemption that followed for all who call on His name. The song emphasizes that nothing can separate believers from the hope and love displayed by Jesus, and it looks forward to the day when every knee will bow and every tongue will declare His holy name. With a triumphant tone, it encourages listeners to praise and worship Jesus as the victorious King who paid the final debt for all.
All creation shook on that very day
The Lamb was slain
Then redemption came to anyone
Who would call His name
With power and with strength
You broke these heavy chains
And salvation reigned
And with a shout of praise
And with our voices raised
King Jesus, Your are victorious
You have conquered death with this life of love
King Jesus, You are victorious
You paid the final debt for all of us
King Jesus, You are victorious
None can separate the very hope
And grace that He displayed
Neither height nor depth
Or anyone can steal the love He gave
And with a shout of praise
And with our voices raised
One day every knee will bow
Behold You in Your glory
Every tongue will declare Your Holy name
King Jesus, You are victorious
