Kind King

Verse 1

This world can bruise a fragile heart

Turn soft skin into battle scars

Teach a child to guard her chest

Call it strength to never rest

Voices loud and love so thin

Promises that break like wind

Hands that hurt and eyes that leave

Teach us what not to believe

—

Pre-Chorus (tender realization)

But You…

You are not like them

—

Chorus (deep, slow Afro sway)

You are a kind King

Strong and never cruel

Holy and tender

Gentle as dove

You don’t raise Your voice

You don’t turn away

You hold what is trembling

You always stay

Oh… what a Father

What a love unseen

In a hard, hard world

You are a kind King

—

Verse 2

I learned to hide the softer parts

Lock the door around my heart

Smile wide but never show

Where the hidden sorrows go

But You don’t rush the wounded soul

You don’t demand I play a role

You sit beside the broken chair

And let me know You’re there

—

Pre-Chorus 2

You…

You are not like them

—

Chorus (fuller, layered)

You are a kind King

Power wrapped in peace

Ruler of heaven

Yet washing dusty feet

You don’t make me earn

You don’t make me plead

You call me beloved

Before I believe

Oh… what a Father

What a love unseen

In a sharp-edged world

You are a kind King

—

Bridge (intimate devotional moment)

The world says fight or be devoured

You say, “Come here, My child”

The world says prove your worth

You say, “You’re Mine”

The world says shut your heart off

You say, “I’ll protect it for you”

—

Build (soft warrior daughter rise)

I don’t have to harden

I don’t have to hide

I can stay tender

With You by my side

Not weak — just held

Not small — just known

The safest place

I’ve ever known

—

Final Chorus (strong but reverent)

You are a kind King

Lion yet Lamb

Holding the fragile

Inside Your hands

In a world that wounds

And love runs thin

I run to the throne

Of my kind King
