Lyrics
Can You feel Him?
Can You sense Him?
The King of Glory is Here
I can feel Him
I can see Him
The King of Glory is here
Welcome O King of Glory,
You who are radiant in splendour
You who are magnificent
You who are majestic in all of Your ways
You are mighty in power
You are awesome
You are glorious in all of Your ways
King of kings, Lord of lords
E Kaabo o.
We are made in Your image & likeness
In You we see & recognise ourselves
We are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, cheering us on
For in You we live, move & have our being
Your powerful magnetic Presence draws us in.
E Kaabo o.
Welcome Jesus
Kaabo King of Zion
Welcome King of Glory

Meaning & Inspiration
Kaabo (Welcome) is an invitation for the King of Glory to be honored in the gathered place. The Yoruba greeting “E Kaabo” gives the welcome a distinct cultural voice, while the surrounding lines praise Christ as radiant, majestic, mighty, and glorious. Rather than moving through a narrative, the song dwells on divine presence and identity. Its repeated welcome creates an atmosphere of reverence, expectancy, and adoration centered on Jesus as King of Zion.
The lyric also draws directly on biblical language. The title King of Glory recalls Psalm 24, where the gates are summoned to receive the glorious King. Its confession that life, movement, and being are found in God echoes Paul’s words in Acts. The reference to a great cloud of witnesses similarly recalls Hebrews, where faithful witnesses encourage perseverance. Together these images connect welcome with belonging: God’s presence reveals identity, surrounds the worshiping community with testimony, and draws praise toward the reign of Christ.
