Lyrics
Verse 1
Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song
Chorus
'Cause You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
Verse 2
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song
Chorus 2
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh
You are good, good, oh-ohh

Meaning & Inspiration
King of My Heart gathers its worship around a series of images for divine safety and provision. God is pictured as a mountain, fountain, shadow, ransom, wind, anchor, fire, and song. Each image gives language to trust: the singer runs toward God for refuge, receives life from him, and depends on him for steadiness when circumstances feel unstable. The repeated confession that God is good keeps the focus on his character rather than on changing emotions.
The bridge turns that confession into patient assurance. Its repeated promise that God will not let the singer down suggests confidence in faithful care, while the chorus answers with praise. Psalm 18:2 closely parallels the language of refuge and deliverance, and Psalm 34:8 supports the declaration of divine goodness. Together, these themes make the song a prayerful expression of dependence, security, and praise centered on who God is.
