Greater Vision - You Are My King Lyrics
Lyrics
Lord here I am again coming into your presence
With a song of praise and a heart that is grateful
And searching for ways to tell you I'm thankful
For all that you are to me
When my soul is troubled
You are my peace
When I am weak
You are my strength
When others forsake me
You are my friend
When battles keep raging
You're my defense
When my heart is broken
You are my healer
When I needed saving
You were my Savior
When I come to worship whenever I sing
You are my King
Sometimes I stop and think
Just where I would be
If your hands of mercy
Had not rescued me
You give grace undeserved
Unfailing love
You're always just what I need
When my soul is troubled
You are my peace
When I am weak
You are my strength
When others forsake me
You are my friend
When battles keep raging
You're my defense
When my heart is broken
You are my healer
When I needed saving
You were my Savior
When I come to worship whenever I sing
You are my King
Lord you are faithful, Amazing, loving, unchanging
What you've been for others id what you are to me
And always will be
You are my friend
You are my healer
When I needed saving
You were my Savior
When I come to worship whenever I sing
You are my King
When I come to worship whenever I sing
You are my King
Lord You are my King

Meaning & Inspiration
Greater Vision's "You Are My King," featured on their 2021 album "The Journey," is a profoundly resonant declaration of unwavering devotion and recognition of divine sovereignty. The song opens with a humble acknowledgment of approaching God's presence, not out of obligation, but from a place of genuine gratitude and a desire to express thankfulness for His multifaceted character. The lyrics articulate a deep understanding of God's provision in every aspect of life, moving beyond mere situational comfort to a profound recognition of His essential role. This is beautifully captured in verses that speak to His role as peace in troubled souls, strength in weakness, and a steadfast friend when human companionship falters, echoing the Psalmist's sentiment in Psalm 27:10: "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." The song's strength lies in its direct, scripturally-informed portrayal of God's consistent faithfulness.
The central message revolves around the multifaceted nature of God's relationship with the believer, emphasizing His role as healer, Savior, and ultimate King. The narrative of needing saving and finding it in Him directly aligns with the core of the Gospel message, as articulated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The recurring assertion that "You are my King" is not a mere title but a complete surrender of self, recognizing His ultimate authority and reign over all circumstances. This acknowledgement is further bolstered by the lyrical contemplation of where one would be without divine mercy, a powerful reflection of God's undeserved grace. The song acknowledges this grace as "grace undeserved, unfailing love," a direct nod to Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." The consistent attributes of God mentioned—faithful, amazing, loving, unchanging—speak to His immutable nature, a cornerstone of biblical theology, as stated in Malachi 3:6: "I the Lord do not change." Ultimately, "You Are My King" serves as a moving testament to the transformative power of recognizing God's supreme worth and His active presence in the lives of those who place their trust in Him, reinforcing the joyous truth that He is indeed our reigning King through all seasons of life.
