Behind the song
He Is the King of Kings begins with creation and expands into a broad declaration of who God is. The song looks back to Genesis, where God speaks light, land, living creatures and humanity into being, and then carries that worship through the biblical names and titles that reveal His character. Provider, Banner, Almighty, Most High, Rock of Ages, Great I AM, Lion of Judah and spotless Lamb all point to the same sovereign Lord. The song deliberately travels from Genesis to Revelation to emphasise that the One who began the story is also the One who reigns at its end. Its central confession is simple: no throne can rival Him. He is the King of kings, and His reign endures forever.
Lyrics
[Chorus]
Once upon a time, there was a King,
He is the King of kings.
He is the self-existent One,
God alone — the Ancient of Days.
He created the heavens and the earth.
[Verse 1]
He looked upon the earth, it was void, without form,
Spoke into the darkness, let there be dawn.
Light pierced the night, the first day was born,
His word still stands, creation adorned.
[Chorus]
He is the King of kings, Lord of lords,
Alpha, Omega, His power endures.
From nothing He made the skies and seas,
He reigns forever in majesty.
[Verse 2]
Waters divided, dry land appeared,
Mountains rose up, oceans drew near.
Grass and the trees began to grow,
Sun, moon, and stars began to glow.
Birds in the sky, fish in the deep,
Beasts of the field, flocks of sheep.
He breathed His breath into mankind,
Made in His image, spirit divine.
He is the King of kings, Lord of lords,
Alpha, Omega, His power endures.
From nothing He made the skies and seas,
He reigns forever in majesty.
Jehovah Jireh — my Provider,
Jehovah Nissi — my Banner higher.
El Shaddai, the Almighty One,
The battle is His, the victory’s won.
Adonai, the Lord, El Elyon, Most High,
El Olam, eternal, He’ll never die.
The Rock of Ages, the Great I AM,
Lion of Judah, the spotless Lamb.
Omnipotent, omniscient, everywhere,
No throne can rival, none can compare.
He spoke the world with a single command,
He is the Sovereign, He holds it in His hand.
King of glory, strong and mighty,
His reign eternal, none can fight He.
Alpha, Omega, Beginning, the End,
Closer than a brother, yet greater than a friend.
The Great Physician, He heals the broken,
Every word He speaks, forever spoken.
Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,
Earth and heaven bow, declaring His glory.
[Bridge]
From Genesis to Revelation,
All creation is His proclamation.
The heavens declare His endless might,
The King of kings, clothed in light.
[Final Chorus]
He is the King of kings, Lord of lords,
Alpha, Omega, His power endures.
From nothing He made the skies and seas,
He reigns forever in majesty.
Once upon a time, there was a King…
He is the King of kings.
