Gaither Vocal Band - He's Still The King of Kings Lyrics
Lyrics
In the hills of Judea
The lone shepherds watched
Hope is gone theres no call for singing
Then the angels proclaimed
That a savior is born
Heaven's loss echoes
Sweet Zion's ringing
He has walked by the graveside
Of earths fallen Kings who oppossed Him
And yet He's still reigning
Somehow love and compassion have conquered it all
Even foes join with the heaven proclaiming
Hosanna Hosanna
The whole world is singing
The Hope of all ages is born
Though sometimes it may seem
This old world is in control
He's still the king of kings and Lord of Lords
At the sound of our trampet
The skies blazed with fire
Mountains thunder with God's judgement ringing
But the saints have no fear
Their redeemer has coome
Praise the Lord through all ages they are singing
Hosanna Hosanna
The whole world is singing
The Hope of all ages is born
Though sometimes it may seem
This old world is in control
He's still the king of kings and Lord of Lords

Meaning & Inspiration
When the Gaither Vocal Band released their Christmas project, All Heaven And Nature Sing, on October 1, 2021, they chose to anchor the collection with the bold, uncompromising truth of Christ’s sovereign rule. We often treat the incarnation as a soft, sentimental moment in a stable, but this track strips away the glitter to reveal the sheer weight of who Jesus is. It forces us to look past the manger and recognize that the infant born in Judea is the very One who stands over the ruins of every empire that has dared to rise against Him. When the lyrics observe that He has walked by the graveside of earth’s fallen kings, they invite us to meditate on the fact that while earthly powers fade, Christ’s dominion is eternal, just as Psalm 145 reminds us that His kingdom is a kingdom for all ages.
The song grounds itself in the reality of divine authority amidst our daily confusion. We often look at the news or our personal struggles and conclude that the world is spinning off its axis, but the lyrics push back against that lie. They declare that He is still the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, a title pulled directly from Revelation 19:16. This isn't just a holiday sentiment; it’s a scriptural reality check. When we sing about Him as the hope of all ages, we are acknowledging that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Even as the song looks forward to the terrifying majesty of judgment—with skies blazing and mountains trembling—the focus remains on the assurance given to the saints. Because He conquered the grave, those who belong to Him have no cause for fear when the heavens roll back. He isn't a God who is waiting for permission to rule; He is the sovereign Creator whose reign is absolute, present, and final. Put down the fragile ornaments of human perception and rest in the iron-clad truth that your King is already on the throne, and He isn't stepping down.
