Lyrics
Verse 1:
If the angels cry holy to our King,
so will I lift up my voice as a worship offering.
If the trees can wave their limbs to worship You,
so will I lift up my hands to glorify You as they do.
Verse 2:
You created everything to worship Thee,
so I will fulfill the purpose for which You created me.
With my mouth, Your matchless worth I will proclaim,
with my whole heart, I will forever bless Your name.
Chorus:
I worship You, Master,
I worship You, oh Most High.
I worship You, oh King of Kings.
Verse 1
Verse 2

Ending:
If the angels cry holy to our King...

Meaning & Inspiration
“King of Kings” centers on worship as the fitting response to the majesty of God. The song looks to angels and creation as examples of praise, then turns that vision into a personal offering of voice, hands, heart, and speech. Its repeated title places divine rule and holiness at the center, while the verses describe worship as part of the purpose for which humanity was created.
The imagery closely echoes biblical scenes in which heavenly beings proclaim God as holy and creation gives glory to its Maker. The commitment to proclaim divine worth also recalls the language of the Psalms, where praise involves both spoken testimony and wholehearted devotion. Rather than treating worship as a single musical moment, the lyric presents it as a complete response involving the whole person. The closing return to the angels reinforces a clear theme: earthly praise joins a greater chorus honoring the Most High as Master and King.
