King Forever
Whittaker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I surrender all that I am
To someone very specific
He holds the blueprints of the stars
He knows the tempo in my chest
He offers grace in His sacrifice
It's the well that won't dry
You're the well that won't dry

I surrender all that I am
To someone very specific
He holds the blueprints of the stars
He knows the tempo in my chest
He offers grace in His sacrifice
It's the well that won't dry

Jesus, You are King forever
Jesus, You're my King forever
Jesus, You are King forever
Jesus, You're my King forever

I am laying down all my rights
He took the keys of my dreams
No more chasing earthly crowns
You are the prize in my eyes
I will trust You when the shadows come
'Cause You're the light that won't die

Jesus, You are King forever
Jesus, You're my King forever
Jesus, You are King forever
Jesus...

'Cause You reign forever, Lord
You will remain
'Cause You reign
Let all the earth sing out Your name
'Cause You reign forever, Lord
You will remain
'Cause You reign
Let all the earth sing out Your name

I'm taken back
I'm overwhelmed
Rescued by love
Forever
Yeah, I'm taken back
I'm overwhelmed
Restored by faith
Forever

Jesus, You are King forever
Jesus, You're my King forever

Jesus, You're my King forever
Jesus...
