Lyrics
My God’s the king of the giants
My God’s the king of the lions
My God’s the king of the creatures of the deep
My God’s the king of me
Have you heard the story about my friend King Dave
Wouldn’t let the giant stand in his way
He said hand me my sling cos he’s not that tall
My God is bigger, and I’ll watch him fall
My God’s the king of the giants
My God’s the king of the lions
My God’s the king of the creatures of the deep
My God’s the king of me
Have you heard the one about this guy called Dan
Yes, he was a mighty holy praying man
They said throw him to the den of the scary beasts
But God saved our hero from the lion’s teeth
My God’s the king of the giants
My God’s the king of the lions
My God’s the king of the creatures of the deep
My God’s the king of me
This is more than history
He will do the same for me
Like Jonah and the whale at sea
When I’m lost and afraid all alone in the dark
You’re with me
Oh, You’re with me
My God’s the king of the giants
My God’s the king of the lions
My God’s the king of the creatures of the deep
My God’s the king of me
My God’s the king of me

Meaning & Inspiration
“King of Me” introduces children to God’s rule and care through three familiar Bible stories. The chorus names giants, lions, and creatures of the deep, then gathers those images into a personal confession that God is King. Each verse gives one image a narrative setting: David faces Goliath, Daniel survives the lions’ den, and Jonah is remembered in the sea.
The song’s plain language and repeated chorus make its biblical pattern easy to follow. David’s courage rests in a God greater than the giant, Daniel’s rescue follows faithful prayer, and Jonah’s story becomes an example of God’s presence when fear and isolation close in. The bridge moves from remembered history to present trust without claiming that every danger will unfold identically. Its emphasis is that the God who acted in those accounts remains near to a frightened child, joining God’s kingship with comfort, courage, and prayer.
