[Verse 1]
I was dry as desert dust
Heart like rust on rust
Talking big
But cracked inside
Shaking hands
Still trying to hide
Then Your name cut through my fear
Like thunder in my ears
Fell down hard on busted knees
You breathed a storm of mercy into me (yeah)
[Chorus]
Jesus is King
And it shakes my bones
Turns this hollow chest into a home
You light me up
From the roots of my soul
Jesus is King
I can’t stay the same
Fire in my lungs when I say Your name
You bring the life
You bring the life from my soul
[Verse 2]
Used to chase that crooked road
Gripping things I couldn’t hold
Bottled pain and borrowed time
All that weight was killing my mind
Then You broke my prison pride
Tore that gravecloth from my eyes
Now this voice that used to curse
Got a rough-edged hallelujah in reverse (hey!)
[Chorus]
Jesus is King
And it shakes my bones
Turns this hollow chest into a home
You light me up
From the roots of my soul
Jesus is King
I can’t stay the same
Fire in my lungs when I say Your name
You bring the life
You bring the life from my soul
[Bridge]
From my scars
From my shame
From the darkest
Hidden place
You rise
You rise
From my doubt
From my grave
From the dust
I hear You say
“Rise
Child
Rise” (oh, I rise)
[Chorus]
Jesus is King
And it shakes my bones
Turns this hollow chest into a home
You light me up
From the roots of my soul
Jesus is King
I can’t stay the same
Fire in my lungs when I say Your name
You bring the life
You bring the life from my soul
You bring the life
You bring the life from my soul
