Jesus Is King Over Me

[Verse 1]
Sunrise over red clay roads
Dust on my feet
But my heart glows
Grandma’s hands raised high
Eyes closed
Saying
“Child
Remember what you know”

[Pre-Chorus]
When the river runs wild
I won’t drown
When the night feels deep
I stand my ground
’Cause I hear that still small voice in me
Calling me to stand and sing

[Chorus]
Jesus is King over me
Over my joy
Over my grieving
Every breath
Every heartbeat
I am held in a love unending
Jesus is King over me
Over my past
Over my dreaming
I was lost
Now I’m finally free
Jesus is King over me (ohh-ohh)

[Verse 2]
Church bells ring through warm hillside
Children laugh
Robes all too wide
Twelve strings ringing by my side
I can feel His mercy in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
When my faith feels thin like paper
You remind me You are greater
I have seen Your hope in everything
I will rise and I will sing

[Chorus]
Jesus is King over me
Over my doubt
Over my failures
Every tear on my cheeks
Turns to praise as You draw me nearer
Jesus is King over me
Over my shame
Over my story
At Your cross
That’s where I see
Jesus is King over me (hey, hey)

[Bridge]
From the mountains to the sea
Let the broken say
“I’m free”
Let the weary find their peace
In the name of Christ our King

[Chorus]
Jesus is King over me
Over my joy
Over my grieving
Every breath
Every heartbeat
I am held in a love unending
Jesus is King over me
Over this land
Over our singing
Every tongue
Every family
Shouting out
“Jesus is King over me” (ohh-ohh)
