Lyrics
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
Destroy this temple
In 3 days
He got up
From the grave
Heaven and earth must proclaim
Tell everybody
The king is here
He's undisputed
I hope it's clear
I got an announcement for you to hear
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
From the north south east and west
Wave your hand if you know you're blessed
Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that
The king is still on the throne
Oh clap your hands
Dance with me
Good God a light it's jubilee
If you know he set you free say
The King is still on the throne
The king of glory
Is in control control control
The king of glory
Is on the throne, the throne the throne
Go and tell it
On the mountain
In the valley low
God is in control
The king is still on the throne
Who is
The king
Of Glory
The king Of Glory
The King of Glory

Meaning & Inspiration
The King of Glory centers on the kingship of Christ and the confidence that God remains in control. Its recurring announcement that the King is still on the throne turns the song into a declaration of divine rule in every place, from the mountain to the valley. The reference to the temple being raised in three days clearly recalls the death and resurrection of Jesus, giving the celebration a distinctly gospel-centered foundation.
The call for every knee to bow and every tongue to confess broadens that message from personal praise to universal acknowledgment of Christ. Images of clapping, dancing, freedom, and jubilee add a communal response to the proclamation. The repeated question about the King of Glory also closely echoes Psalm 24, where the Lord is identified as mighty and victorious. Together, these themes present worship as public witness: Christ is risen, Christ reigns, and his authority gives believers reason to proclaim freedom and praise.
