Mia Fields - Saviour King Lyrics
Lyrics
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
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
We love You Lord
We worship You
You are our God
You alone are good
Let now Your church
Shine as Your 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
You asked Your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin
I love You Lord
I worship You
Hope which was lost
Now stands renewed
I give my life to honour this
The love of Christ
The Saviour King

Meaning & Inspiration
Mia Fields' "Saviour King," released on August 4, 2017, stands as a powerful declaration of faith, echoing the foundational truths of Christianity with a profound depth that resonates long after the final note fades. The song doesn't just present lyrics; it crafts an anthem of transformation, rooted deeply in the biblical narrative of redemption and the sovereign power of God. Its genesis lies in the transformative message of the Gospel, articulating the profound shift that occurs when individuals embrace Christ as their Saviour King. This is a song that speaks to the very core of what it means to be reborn, moving from a state of weakness and poverty in spirit to one of abundant strength and divine inheritance.
The central theme of "Saviour King" is the overwhelming power and grace unleashed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as highlighted in the opening lines. This is not merely a theological concept but a tangible force that empowers the believer, as Paul describes in Ephesians 1:19-20: "And his incomparably great power will act on us who believe. That same power is the energizing might that he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead..." The song powerfully shifts the perspective of the marginalized – the weak and the poor – asserting that their true wealth and strength are found in Christ. This aligns with Jesus' own words in Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," indicating that spiritual poverty, when met with Christ, leads to the greatest of riches. The lyrics then move to a passionate call for a burning, consuming fire within the church, a metaphor for the fervent love and dedication that should be directed towards God's Son, Jesus, for the sake of His holy Name. This internal fire ignites a corporate declaration with the heavens, acknowledging God as King, a sentiment echoed in Revelation 19:16 which speaks of Jesus having this title written on His robe and on His thigh: "King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
The song’s second stanza beautifully captures the essence of the Church as the bride of Christ, a concept powerfully articulated in Ephesians 5:25-27: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." This imagery underscores the immense love and sacrifice of Jesus, who offered Himself to cleanse and sanctify His people. Furthermore, "Saviour King" extends an invitation of radical inclusion, urging the saved and redeemed to welcome the lost home, mirroring the parable of the lost son in Luke 15, where the father rejoices at the return of his prodigal child. The act of carrying the "heavy cross" and the "weight of sin" is a direct reference to Christ's atoning sacrifice, a burden He bore for humanity's iniquity, as Isaiah 53:6 states, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." The song culminates in a profound personal surrender, a declaration of a life dedicated to honoring the immense love of Christ, the Saviour King, who brings renewed hope to what was once lost. This transformation from despair to renewed hope is the very promise of the Gospel, assuring that through Him, a life once adrift can find its eternal anchor.
