Red Rocks Worship's song 'King of Glory' is a powerful worship anthem that draws on the biblical story of Jericho to illustrate the power of praise. The lyrics encourage believers to lift their hands, shout praise, and join with Heaven, declaring that Jesus is King. The song emphasizes God's worthiness to receive our breath, lives, and dignity, and it echoes Psalm 103 in blessing the Lord forever. It's a call for the people of God to rise up and sing, letting the world hear that Jesus reigns, with a focus on God's enduring love and presence.

Jericho stood till it heard a sound
A roar from a kingdom it brought every wall down
Their song was a weapon that chased the enemy out
All of hell trembles when it hears that sound
So we lift our hands in His holy presence
Let the gates swing wide
We shout with praise
And we join with Heaven
Let the gates swing wide
King of Glory, we're here for You
King of Glory, we're here for You
People of God, now rise up and sing
Let the world hear that Jesus is King
Isn't He worthy, so worthy to receive
The breath in our lungs, our lives, and our dignity
So here is our breath, our lives, and our dignity
So we lift our hands in his holy presence
Let the gates swing wide
We shout with praise
And we join with Heaven
Let the gates swing wide
King of Glory, we're here for You
King of Glory, we're here for You
Bless the Lord oh my soul bless the Lord forever and ever
Oh, the love of the Lord it goes on forever and ever
Bless the Lord oh my soul bless the Lord forever and ever
Oh, the love of the Lord it goes on forever
So we lift our hands in His holy presence
Let the gates swing wide
We shout with praise
And we join with Heaven
Let the gates swing wide
King of Glory, we're here for You
King of Glory, we're here for You
King of Glory, we're here for You
King of Glory, we're here for You
