Los Angeles, CA (July 12, 2019)
Multi-platinum-selling Hillsong Worship announces a brand new single “King of Kings” that releases on the heels of the chart-topping “Who You Say I Am” which recently achieved RIAA-Certified Gold status. “King of Kings” is a stirring anthem featuring lead vocals from Hillsong Worship’s Brooke Ligertwood in a declaration of praise to the majesty and glory of God.

“The Gospel is a now reality that requires a now response,” says Ligertwood. “It should never be treated or viewed as a relic—no matter how reverently one might err in that direction. With origins before time and echoes beyond it, it stands at the intersection of eternity and our every-day present and beckons, urges, demands us to look. Look at the Christ, the Son of God—bloodied for your sin and the sin of all humanity—repent and believe and take your place in the story of all stories—the story of the King of Kings.”

Passionate about equipping and mobilizing believers everywhere with Christ-centered songs of God-glorifying worship for the building of the Church for almost three decades, Hillsong Worship has served people across nations and generations. Their latest album, There Is More broke the street-week record for audio/video streams in the Christian genre, debuting at #26 overall on the Billboard Top 200, #8 on Billboard Digital Albums, and #2 on the Christian and Gospel Billboard Top 100. Earning over 300 million total streams since its release, the project continues to garner awards and accolades.

In support of their new music, Hillsong Worship will join Casting Crowns and Elevation Worship for a special 2019 USA arena circuit this fall. Kicking off Nov. 1 in Memphis, Tenn., tickets go on sale July 19.

“King Of Kings” Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

CHORUS:
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 2:
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died

VERSE 3:
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

VERSE 4:
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
