Only true and righteous one
A bove all names, your name is holy
You are worthy you alone
All of Heaven bows before you
Creation trembles at Your Word
Every Nation Will enthrone you
Behold the lamb, behold the Lord
Holy, Holy is the Lord
Who was and who is to come
King of Kings and Lord of Glory
Only true and righteous one
A bove all names, your name is holy
You are worthy you alone
All of Heaven bows before you
Creation trembles at Your Word
Every Nation Will enthrone you
Behold the lamb, behold the Lord
Holy, Holy is the Lord
Holy, Holy is the Lord
Who was and who is to come
Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb
Who was and who is to come
Who was and who is to come
Prepare the way of the Lord
Make straight in the desert
A highway four our God
Prepare the way of the Lord
Every valley be exalted
Every montain be brought low
Every eye shall see Him,
Every eye behold the Lamb
//The lamb//
The song "King of Kings" by Karen Davis is a worship song that praises and glorifies Jesus Christ as the king of kings and lord of lords. The lyrics express that Jesus is the only true and righteous one, and above all names, and his name is holy. The song acknowledges that all of heaven bows before him, and creation trembles at his Word. The chorus repeats the phrase "Holy, Holy is the Lord" as a declaration of his holiness and the reverence due to him. The second part of the song declares that Jesus is the worthy Lamb who was and who is to come, and that every eye will see him and behold the Lamb.
The verses of the song are based on scripture verses such as Revelations 19:16, which refers to Jesus as "King of kings and Lord of lords," and Isaiah 40:3-5 which talks about preparing the way of the Lord and making a highway in the desert. The song invites listeners to join in the worship of Jesus Christ and to prepare the way for his coming. It expresses an awe and reverence for the majesty of Jesus and the power of his name, and encourages believers to lift up his name in worship and adoration.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of worship and adoration for Jesus Christ, and a reminder of his power and majesty as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
