[Intro]
[syncopated fingerstyle acoustic guitar]

[Verse 1]
[breathy male vocals]
There's a story I have to tell
About a savior who conquered hell
To save a wretch like me
To set the captive free
Emerging from a virgin womb
Buried in a borrowed tomb
His glory laid aside
Heaven's treasure crucified

[Chorus]
[bass and light percussion enter]
He's my king
I bow my knee to him
Who wore the thorny crown
Bloodstains on his gown
And I bow
To the king of kings who carried the rugged cross
On the way to Calvary
He's my king

[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar continues, ambient electric guitar swells]
The story of the great I Am
Who came to earth the spotless lamb
To take this sinner's place
All my debts have been erased
Not the king that they were looking for
This humble servant was so much more
Than man could recognize
The father's greatest prize

[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving drum beat]
He's my king
I bow my knee to him
Who wore the thorny crown
Bloodstains on his gown
And I bow
To the king of kings who carried the rugged cross
On the way to Calvary
He's my king

[Bridge]
[distorted electric guitar power chords, heavy tom fills]
The story doesn't end this way
The stone was rolled away
He's coming back again
He's coming back again
My king exalted high
Now even death will die
He's coming back again
He's coming back again
From the top the veil was torn
The new covenant was born
He's coming back again
He's coming back again
Every lash was meant for me
Every stripe now sets me free
He's coming back again
He's coming back again

[Chorus]
[half-time feel, building intensity]
He's my king
I bow my knee to him
Who wore the thorny crown
Bloodstains on his gown
And I bow
To the king of kings who carried the rugged cross
On the way to Calvary
He's my king

[Outro]
[drums and bass drop out, acoustic guitar only]
There's a story of the highest love
It's you that he was thinking of
The suffering he endured
To open heaven's door
To those who call upon his name
They receive his offering
It's a story without end
He's more than just my friend
He's my king
