Lyrics
We have heard the thunder
We have seen the storm
Echoes of your kingdom coming
Rumors of our home
Where one day we will stand before you Lord
Our altogether beautiful reward
Chorus:
And we will give you glory bring you honor
King above all kings
You deserve our everything
We will lift our voices with your praises
Jesus you are our king
Though now we walk in darkness
Though now we see in part
Right now we're warmed by the burning flames
Of the fire in our hearts
You've promised you would lead us to your throne
Where we will worship you and you alone
Chorus

Meaning & Inspiration
“King” looks toward the promised fullness of God’s kingdom while acknowledging the limits of present sight. Thunder, storm, echoes, and rumors create a sense that the coming kingdom is already being anticipated, though not yet seen in completion. The lyric’s hope is personal and worshipful: standing before the Lord is described as a beautiful reward, and Jesus is confessed as the King above all kings who deserves glory, honor, and praise.
The second verse holds present difficulty beside future certainty. Walking in darkness and seeing only in part suggest faith that continues without complete understanding, language that recalls Paul’s description of partial knowledge. The promise of being led to God’s throne then turns expectation into worship. Praise is not merely reserved for a future gathering; the fire in the worshippers’ hearts points to devotion already alive in the present. The repeated chorus gathers these themes into a clear response of adoration, naming Jesus as King and offering voice, honor, and everything to him.
