SONG STORY

In the summer of 2009, our Levites Ministry Team was ministering at a church in Hawaii. Our worship team had just finished doing its sound check for the evening’s worship service, and I sat down momentarily at the large grand piano in the church’s sanctuary. It was a beautiful church sanctuary, with large stained glass windows, and the sunlight was streaming through the stained glass, directly onto the place where I sat at the piano. I was freely playing unto the Lord a spontaneous song, when suddenly the lyrics and music for this song (Christ Our King) began flooding my being. The song virtually “wrote itself” as the lyrics and melodies tumbled out of my words and fingers on the keys. I had the sensation that the song itself was a gift of heaven, shining down from above as if through the sunlight beaming through the stained glass where I sat. It was an unforgettable moment of worship for me as I reflect on it. We have since included (in the music video) the imagery of sunlight pouring through a magnificent stained glass, as this is a reminder, not only of how this song came, but how Jesus Himself describes Himself as the Light which comes from heaven to earth. Our Levites Community worship team later had the privilege of worshiping in Israel, both at the beach at Caesarea (where the apostle Paul was imprisoned) and also at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. These were indescribably glorious moments in which to remember who Jesus is and what He has lovingly and sacrificially done for us. We sincerely hope and pray that everyone who experiences this worship song will personally encounter the risen Christ who so lovingly came and died so that we might have eternal life.

[Verse 1]
영광 찬양 존귀 겸손의 그리스도께
Glory, praise and honor to Christ our
humble King
그 영광 뒤로 하사 고통을 지셨네
Who laid aside His glory to bear our
suffering
십자가에 달리신 만세의 왕의 왕
The King of all the ages, who died upon
the cross
처음과 나중되신 주
Who was and is and is to come

[Verse 2]
영광 찬양 존귀 보좌 위 주님께
Glory, praise and honor to Him upon the
throne
그 영광 뒤로 하사 가시관 쓰셨네
Who laid aside His glory to wear a thorny
crown
그 거룩한 얼굴에 큰 해를 입으사
His sacred head was wounded,
disgracefully in shame
우리 죄 지신 어린양
The Lamb of God who bore our sin

[Chorus]
찬양 거룩 거룩하신 주
Holy, holy, holy Lord
온 땅 찬양하리
The earth will sing Your praise
존귀 존귀 어린양
Worthy, worthy, Lamb of God
영원히 통치해
Forever You will reign!

[Verse 3]
가장 높은 영광 만유의 주님께
Glory in the highest to Christ, the Lord of
all
우리 죄 대속하사 자유케 하셨네
Who came to pay our ransom, to free us
from the fall
속죄의 제물 되사 우리를 구하신
Who gave His life an offering, to rescue
us from sin
부활하신 우리의 왕
Our King who died and rose again

[Verse 4]
가장 높은 영광 위엄의 그리스도께
Glory in the highest to Christ the glorious
One
한 알의 밀알 되사 홀로 죽으셨네
Ignobly sown in sorrow, the seed who
died alone
영원히 통치하실 생명의 구세주
Now raised to life forever, eternally to
reign
부활하신 우리의 왕
Our King who died and rose again

[Tag1]
예수 위대하신 이름
Jesus, the Name above all names
예수 영원히 통치해
Jesus, forever You will reign

영원히 통치해
Forever You will reign
