Lyrics
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
You are good, good, oh .
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
The fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh He is my Song .
You are good, good, oh
You’re never gonna let me down
When the night is holding on to me
You are holding on

Meaning & Inspiration
“King of My Heart” describes trust in God through images of shelter, provision, and stability. The mountain, fountain, shadow, ransom, wind, and anchor each present a different aspect of divine care. At the center is the repeated confession that God is good. That refrain gives the song its focus: confidence rests not in changing circumstances but in the character of the One being praised.
The closing lines bring that confidence into a darker setting. Even when night seems to hold the singer, God remains the stronger presence, holding on without failure. This assurance closely reflects biblical language about God as refuge and help, while the fountain image suggests that life and satisfaction are found in Him. The song therefore moves naturally from naming who God is to resting in what He does. Its repetition serves as a steady declaration of dependence, making praise and trust part of the same response.
