When the waves of sorrow come in heavy
And my thoughts start to drift
When the voices grow loud
And I question the promise
You whisper softly to me
Not fire, not flame
But tender and gentle
You call me by name
Pre-Chorus
Not forgotten
Not forsaken
Not the sum of every fear
You remind me who I am
When the path feels unclear
Chorus
Daughter of the King
Anointed with oil
Mercy on my head
Glory in my bones
Tenderly held
Even when I don’t see
Heaven calls me chosen
That is the truth over me
Daughter of the King
Washed in mercy
Crowned in grace
I belong to Glory
Verse 2
When shame tries to chase me
Old shadows replay
You cover me softly
And carry the weight
You don’t raise Your voice
You come sit beside me
You steady my breathing
You teach me to stand
Pre-Chorus
Not abandoned
Not unworthy
Not too broken to be used
Every tear I ever cried
Was oil that You infused
Chorus
Daughter of the King
Anointed with oil
Mercy on my head
Glory in my bones
Tenderly held
Even when I can’t see
Heaven calls me chosen
That is the truth over me
Bridge (layered, almost spoken over rhythm)
Mercy… mercy… mercy over me
Glory… glory… resting over me
Gentle King, You speak identity
I am Yours and You are for me
Daughter
Beloved
Anointed
Free
Final Chorus (bigger, layered harmonies)
Daughter of the King
Anointed with oil
Mercy on my head
Glory in my bones
Tender and chosen
Marked by His name
I walk in His kindness
I rise in His love
Daughter of the King
Wrapped in mercy
Covered in glory
This is who I am
