Before the King

V6

[Verse 1] I came with all my words prepared, But they disappeared when I found You there. All the things I thought I had to say Fell silent in the presence of Your grace. There are moments when a heart just knows It has come before a holy throne. So I lay every earthly thing aside, There is nothing here but You and I. [Chorus] Before the King, I lift my hands, Nothing to prove, no place to stand But in the mercy that has covered me. Before the King, I bow my heart, You knew my end before my start. Jesus, You are all I’ll ever need. Holy, holy, worthy is the Lamb. Holy, holy, here I am. I have nothing of my own to bring— I only come Before the King. [Verse 2] You wore the thorns that should’ve been mine, You bore my sin and gave me life. The hands that formed the heavens and the seas Were opened on a cross because of me. How could I stand and not be moved? How could I sing and not sing to You? Let every breath You’ve placed inside of me Become an offering at Your feet. [Chorus] Before the King, I lift my hands, Nothing to prove, no place to stand But in the mercy that has covered me. Before the King, I bow my heart, You knew my end before my start. Jesus, You are all I’ll ever need. Holy, holy, worthy is the Lamb. Holy, holy, here I am. I have nothing of my own to bring— I only come Before the King. [Bridge — very softly] No other name. No other throne. No other Savior Calls me His own. No greater love. No greater grace. Forever I will worship Before Your face. [Instrumental pause] [Final Chorus — gradually building] Before the King, I lift my hands, Washed and forgiven, here I stand, Only by the blood that rescued me. Before the King, I bow my heart. Jesus, You have every part. All I am belongs to You completely. Holy, holy, worthy is the Lamb. Holy, holy, here I am. [Background voices, softly] (Holy… holy…) [Lead] Let every crown fall at Your feet. Let every heart confess Your name. Let every breath within me sing— Jesus… Jesus… You are King. [Outro — almost a prayer] Holy… Holy… I worship You… Before the King.
