Life and salvation His empire shall bring

We will be ready the dawn of that day

Sing To The King
Meaning & Inspiration
"Sing to the King," released by New Life Worship on October 20, 2015, is a powerful anthem that calls listeners to a profound act of worship, focusing not just on a melody but on the transformative message of Jesus Christ's reign and redemption. The song centers on the anticipation of Christ's return and the eternal glory that accompanies His kingship. It proclaims the sacrificial act of the Lamb who was slain, emphasizing that through His sacrifice, "life and salvation His empire shall bring," a theme deeply rooted in scripture, echoing Isaiah 53:12 which speaks of Him bearing the sins of many, and Revelation 5:12, where the Lamb is declared worthy of power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. The lyrical invitation to "sing a song, a song declaring that we belong To Jesus" is a direct testament to our identity in Christ, aligning with Galatians 3:26, which states, "So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith." This declaration is not merely an emotional outburst but a conscious recognition of our dependence, for "He is all we need," a truth beautifully captured in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will also supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." The imperative to "Lift up a heart of praise, sing now with voices raised" is an ancient call to worship, found throughout the Psalms, such as Psalm 95:1, "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation."
The second verse deepens this theological reflection by focusing on the faithful anticipation of Christ's return. "For His returning we watch and we pray" speaks to the believer's vigilant posture, a constant readiness that reflects passages like Matthew 24:42, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." The certainty of this future day, when "We'll join in singing with all the redeemed," points to the glorious culmination described in Revelation 7:9-10, where a vast multitude from every nation worships God and the Lamb. The ultimate victory is declared with the powerful affirmation, "Satan is vanquished and Jesus is King," a triumphant declaration that resonates with the foundational victory of the cross and the ultimate defeat of evil foreshadowed in Revelation 20:10, where the devil is thrown into the lake of fire. The repetition of the chorus serves to solidify this central message, urging a continuous and unified expression of belonging to Jesus and exalting Him as King. This song is more than just a musical piece; it is a theological declaration, a call to worship, and an encouragement to live with the joyous certainty of Christ's sovereign reign, both now and in the age to come.
