Lyrics

I wish I could tell you
Wish I could describe it
But I can't contain it
Can't keep it to myself

There aren't enough colors
To paint the whole picture
Not enough words
To ever say what I found

Wonderful and beautiful
And glorious and holy
He is merciful and powerful
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

We declare the glory
Give Him all the honor
Altogether worthy
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
There's no one before You
Yes, we will adore You
All of this is for You
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

I'm not letting the rocks cry
Without joining the chorus
There aren't enough notes
To make the harmony

It's the song of the angels (angels)
Through all of the ages (ages)
It's all of the earth
And heaven's symphony

Wonderful and beautiful
And glorious and holy
He is merciful and powerful
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

That's my King
That's my God
That's my Shepherd
My protector
That's my King
That's my Rock
That's my Anchor
My Defender

Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

We declare the glory
Give Him all the honor
Altogether worthy
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
We declare the glory
Give Him all the honor
Altogether worthy
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

There's no one before You
Yes, we will adore You
All of this is for You
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King

Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
(King of Kings)
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
(King forever)
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Who we talkin' about?
That's my King
Yeah yeah yeah

Meaning & Inspiration

CeCe Winans' single, "That's My King," released on February 2nd, 2024, as part of the "That's My King - Single" collection, is more than just a song; it's a powerful declaration of faith and devotion. The essence of the song lies in its profound inability to fully capture the majesty of the divine, a sentiment that resonates deeply with the inadequacy of human language to describe God's glory. Winans grapples with this limitation from the outset, wishing she could articulate the indescribable, that there aren't enough colors or words to convey what she has found in her King. This feeling echoes the awe expressed by the Apostle Paul in Romans 11:33, where he exclaims, "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his paths beyond tracing out!" The lyrics then transition into a vibrant descriptor of this King: "Wonderful and beautiful, and glorious and holy, He is merciful and powerful." These attributes are not mere poetic flourishes but direct reflections of God's character as revealed throughout Scripture. His holiness is a foundational aspect of His being, as declared in Isaiah 6:3, where the seraphim cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." His mercy, a cornerstone of the Gospel, is evident in verses like Psalm 103:8: "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love." The power attributed to Him is not a distant, abstract force but a dynamic, active presence, as seen in Jeremiah 32:17, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

The repetitive refrain, "Who we talkin' about? That's my King," serves as an anchor, grounding the listener in the personal and triumphant affirmation of Christ's sovereignty in the singer's life. This is not a generic praise but a deeply personal testimony, a claiming of His Lordship over her existence. The song further elaborates on this by proclaiming, "There's no one before You, Yes, we will adore You, All of this is for You." This declaration directly aligns with the first commandment in Exodus 20:3, "You shall have no other gods before me," and the ultimate purpose of creation and redemption, which is God's glory. The idea of joining the "chorus" and not letting "the rocks cry" without adding their voice is a powerful image, drawing from the passage in Luke 19:40 where Jesus says, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." It emphasizes the universal call to praise, a chorus that spans all creation and all ages. The description of "the song of the angels" and "heaven's symphony" points to the eternal worship that already exists in the heavenly realm, a worship to which believers are invited to join. The latter half of the song expands on the multifaceted nature of this King, identifying Him as "my God, my Shepherd, my protector, my Rock, my Anchor, my Defender." Each of these titles carries immense biblical weight. "Shepherd" recalls Psalm 23, the quintessential expression of God's guiding and providing care. "Protector," "Rock," and "Anchor" evoke images of steadfastness and security found in passages like Psalm 18:2, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer," and Hebrews 6:19, where hope in God is described as "an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." The repeated call, "Is He your King tonight?" directly challenges the listener to a personal decision of allegiance, transforming the song from a passive listening experience into an active invitation for commitment and worship. "That's My King" is a vibrant and Scripture-rich anthem that beautifully articulates the inexpressible nature of God's majesty while simultaneously making His saving grace and sovereign reign intimately personal.
