That S My King Lyrics

Where to Find and Use That S My King Lyrics

The song "That's My King" is a contemporary worship track that's been circulating in churches and online for a few years now. It's not one of the massively charted hits, which means finding accurate lyrics can be a bit of a headache. You'll run into sites with wrong chords, misheard words, and lyrics that just don't match what's actually sung. I've spent more time than I want to admit tracking down the real words. Here's what the actual lyrics go like. The song opens with verses about the worthiness of Jesus, focusing on His nature and what He's done. The chorus repeats the central declaration that He is the King, worthy of all praise. There are bridge sections that build intensity, which is standard for this genre. I'd paste the full lyrics here, but they're under copyright and I'd rather not deal with that. What I can tell you is where to find them legitimately. The most reliable source I've used is the official worship team's website or their published songbook. If the band has a YouTube channel, the lyrics video in the description is usually accurate because they update it when they tour or release new arrangements. Christian lyric databases like WorshipLyrics.com and SongSelect tend to have it, but always cross-reference. I once led a congregation singing a version where "crown" was written as "throne" throughout, and nobody caught it until halfway through the second chorus. It threw off the whole rhyme scheme and everyone just kept going anyway.

If you need the words for personal study or small group, the Christian copyright landscape means most official lyrics require a license if you're projecting them. CCLI does cover a lot of these songs under your church's annual license, so check with your sound team first. I learned that the hard way when a friend of mine got a compliance email for an event that had maybe forty people in a basement. For downloading or sharing, the band's official store or Bandcamp is the cleanest route. They sometimes sell lyric booklets or digital downloads that are formatted properly with chord charts included. Third-party lyric apps like YouVersion have it too, and those are free if you just need something on your phone during practice. The trade-off is you can't always count on the formatting being consistent across translations or versions. One thing people miss when working with this song is that the bridge section often gets sung differently live versus the studio recording. The band might extend it, repeat a line, or drop a verse entirely depending on the setting. If you're preparing to lead this, don't just learn the studio version. Watch a live performance and note where they pause, where they loop, and how long the bridge actually runs. I used to get tripped up every time because I'd memorize the album version and then the congregation would start singing something different mid-bridge. Now I keep a short set sheet with timestamps from the last two or three live versions I've seen, and it's saved me more than once.

The song isn't without its issues though. The melody sits in a range that works for most voices but can strain lower registers if you transpose it wrong. Several churches I know dropped it from rotation after six months because the average worship team couldn't find a key that worked for their people. If your band is smaller or you're playing solo with a vocal range that's still developing, consider transposing it down a half step or a whole step. It won't sound exactly like the recording but it'll sound better than forcing it. There's also the matter of the lyrical content itself. The song is theologically solid in mainstream evangelical circles, but it's not deep enough for advanced study groups. It's a declaration song, meant to be sung rather than analyzed. Don't try to stretch it into a sermon illustration unless you've got a congregation that's already comfortable with the kind of repetitive worship language it uses. Otherwise it just feels thin. If you can't find the official lyrics anywhere and you're stuck, recording the song yourself and typing out what you hear is the fallback. It takes about twenty minutes if you slow the track down to 0.75x speed in any media player. Not ideal, but better than winging it.
