Hillsong - King Of Majesty Lyrics

"King Of Majesty" is a Hillsong Worship song built around a simple, repeated desire: to know Jesus more deeply and to remain close to Him. The verse uses short, direct statements, "these words are from my heart," "I will live for You," to frame worship as personal devotion rather than performance. The pre-chorus names Jesus directly as "King of Majesty" and reduces the singer's ambition to a single request, simply to be with Him, echoing a long biblical tradition of prizing God's presence above any other pursuit. The chorus and bridge then turn from desire to declaration, repeating that Jesus is the Saviour of the singer's soul and that praise will continue "forever and ever." The closing echoed repetition in the bridge mimics a congregational response, letting a gathered crowd affirm the same statement back to itself. Structurally the song moves from confession, to request, to sustained praise, a shape well suited to a slower worship set focused on quiet adoration rather than celebration.
