Planetshakers - Worship The King Lyrics
Lyrics
Walking down the road called life
Thinking how my world has changed
Since i met the saving grace
of the man they called Jesus Christ
* He's not just an ordinary guy
He is supernatural in all ways
He's not just in my imagination
He is real in everyway
I will stand in awe (2X)
Worship the King of Glory
Open up the doors, lift up the gates
The King of Glory, may He enter in
May His power fall, may His glory fill
All the earth
People come and people go,
Something's in and then it's out
One thing that remains the same
Is the Love I've found Jesus Christ

Worship the King
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2002 as part of the album *Open Up the Gates*, Planetshakers' "Worship The King" is a powerful anthem that immediately anchors itself in the profound personal transformation that comes from encountering Jesus Christ. The song doesn't just speak of a casual acquaintance; it dives deep into the reality of a life irrevocably altered by divine grace. It rejects the notion of Christ as a mere historical figure or an ethereal concept, instead proclaiming Him as a tangible, supernatural presence, a truth that resonates through the very fabric of existence. This declaration finds its scriptural echo in passages like John 1:14, which states, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us," and Colossians 1:17, affirming Christ's preeminence as the one "by whom all things were created, and in whom all things hold together." The core of the song is an invitation, a fervent plea to open the metaphorical gates of our hearts and lives to welcome the "King of Glory." This is not a passive admiration, but an active, engaged stance of standing in awe and anticipation of His presence. The call to "open up the doors, lift up the gates" is a direct reference to Psalm 24:7, which commands, "Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." The hope is for His power to descend and His glory to saturate the earth, a vision beautifully aligned with the prophetic promise in Isaiah 6:3: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Amidst the transient nature of worldly pursuits and relationships, the song powerfully emphasizes the enduring constancy of Christ's love. This steadfastness is a cornerstone of Christian theology, as highlighted in Romans 8:38-39, which assures us that "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." "Worship The King" is thus more than just a song; it's a declaration of faith, a testament to salvific power, and a vibrant call to surrender to the eternal love and undeniable glory of Jesus Christ.
