[Verse]
I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
[Chorus]
Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
(In all I do, I honor You)
[Verse]
I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
[Chorus]
Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
(In all I do, I honor You)
[Bridge]
You are my King
(Jesus, You are my King)
You are my King
(Jesus, You are my King)
You are my King
(Jesus, You are my King)
You are my King
(Jesus, You are my King)
[Chorus]
Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
(In all I do, I honor You)
[Chorus]
Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
(In all I do, I honor You)

Song Meaning
The song builds its whole case on a set of reversals: the singer is forgiven precisely because Christ was forsaken, accepted because he was condemned, and alive because he died and rose again. That exchange is the engine of the lyric, and the chorus responds to it not with argument but with astonishment — the repeated question of how a king could die for the one singing. The bridge strips everything down to a single declaration, "You are my King," repeated until it becomes less a statement than a posture. What stands out is the movement from what has been received to what is offered back: the singer's joy is to honor the one who paid for it, and the parenthetical line widens that honor from a moment of worship into all of daily life. There is no complexity here, no narrative arc or doubt to work through — just a plain, direct gratitude that keeps circling the same wonder. The song ends where it began, still asking the question it never tries to answer.
