One Who Lives
Michael Ketterer's song "One Who Lives" is a worship anthem exalting God as the living and reigning King. The lyrics focus on giving glory and praise to God, acknowledging Jesus as the Messiah, and declaring that every knee will bow and every tongue confess His lordship. The song emphasizes God's kindness, love, and power, and calls listeners to fall before His throne in reverence. It draws on the biblical imagery of Philippians 2:10-11, where every knee bows at the name of Jesus. The repeated refrain "We fall before Your throne" underscores a posture of worship and surrender.
For the One who lives
And the God who reigns
Your children give You glory
Your children breathe Your praise
Messiah, Messiah
Your children know Your name
Messiah, Messiah
We fall before Your fame
For the One who lives
And the God who reigns
Your children give You glory
Your children breathe Your praise
Your children give You glory
Your children breathe Your praise
Messiah, Messiah
Your children know Your name
Messiah, Messiah
We fall before Your fame
At the mention of Your name
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess
You are kind and loving, You are Lord of all
At the mention of Your name
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess
You are strong in power, You are Lord of all
At the mention of Your name
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess
No other God can stand before You, You are Lord of all
At the mention of Your name
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess
You are kind and loving, You are Lord of all
We fall before Your throne
Now and forever
Our King eternal
We magnify
