Hillsong Worship - Saviour King Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
Let now the weak
say I have strength
By the Spirit of power
That raised Christ from the dead
Let now the poor
stand and confess
That my portion is Him
And I'm more than blessed
Pre-Chorus
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's
holy Name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our King
Chorus 1
We love You Lord
We worship You
You are our God
You alone are good
Verse 2
Let now Your church
shine as the bride
That You saw in Your heart
As You offered up Your life
Let now the lost
be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed
Those adopted as Your own
Chorus 2
You asked Your Son
to carry this
The heavy cross
Our weight of sin
Chorus 3
I love You Lord
I worship You
Hope which was lost
now stands renewed
Chorus 4
I give my life
to honour this
The love of Christ
The Savior King

Saviour King - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
"Saviour King" by Hillsong Worship is a powerful declaration of faith and worship, released with an accompanying video in August 2017. The song opens with a call to the vulnerable, asserting strength for the weak through the power that resurrected Christ and declaring abundance for the poor by finding their portion in God, leading to a state of being more than blessed. This foundational message sets a tone of empowerment and security found in divine grace.
The lyrics progress to express a fervent desire for hearts to burn with devotion, a consuming fire dedicated to the Son's holy Name. This passion is linked to a declaration made in unity with the heavens, acknowledging God as King. The chorus directly expresses adoration and worship, affirming the uniqueness and goodness of God, stating, "We love You Lord, We worship You, You are our God, You alone are good."
Further verses extend the message to the wider community of believers and beyond. The church is envisioned shining forth, reflecting the divine intention seen when Christ offered His life. There is also a call for the lost to be welcomed into community by those who have experienced salvation and adoption into God's family. The lyrical narrative then shifts to reflect on the sacrifice made for humanity, noting the heavy cross Christ bore as the weight of sin. This profound act of love is acknowledged as the basis for renewed hope where it was once lost. The song concludes with a personal commitment, expressing love and worship for the Lord and dedicating one's life to honor the love of Christ, the Saviour King.
