Lyrics
Verse:
I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again
Chorus:
Amazing Love, how can it be
That you my king should die for me
Amazing Love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor you,
In all I do, to honor you
Bridge:
You are my King,
You are my king,
Jesus you are my King,
Jesus you are my King
Tag:
In all I do, I honor you

Meaning & Inspiration
Amazing Love centers on the exchange at the core of Christian faith: Christ is forsaken and condemned so that the believer may be forgiven, accepted, and made alive. Its short lines move from personal confession to wonder, presenting the cross and resurrection as the basis for a restored life. The repeated question about a king dying for another person gives the chorus its sense of humility and gratitude.
The song also turns belief into worship. Calling Jesus King is followed by a promise to honor him in every action, so praise is presented as more than a sung response. The lyric closely reflects New Testament language about Christ bearing condemnation and bringing new life, while its emphasis on love recalls the gift described in John 3:16. The bridge strips the message down to a direct confession of Christ’s authority, and the final tag leaves the song with a practical expression of devotion.
