King of Glory
King of Glory is a Psalm 24-inspired song built around one searching question: Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?The answer leads us away from our own goodness and toward Christ—the One with clean hands, a pure heart, and the power to bring us into the presence of God.
Moving from weakness and failure to grace, freedom, and worship, the song celebrates Jesus as the strong and mighty King of Glory who carries us where we could never climb on our own.
Original lyrics by Matt Tullos. Music created with Suno.
My hands are clean, my heart is pure. I have walked the road, I have made it sure. And on me, I stomach fail. My strength is weak, my heart is frail, my hands are staying, my heart is tall from all the grief and guilt I've born. But there is one who climbed the hill, one whose heart was wholly still, one who stood where I couldn't lie, one who opened what sin had a lie. Let the ancient doors arise. Here comes the king of glory, here comes redemption story. He lifts me from the mess of man, meets my broken heart with grace. This is my heart, this is my place. Never make a stress this heart. Never make myself feel not the crisis gone. Open my western hands kill the heart. Well it's not holy. This is my thing. Who can stand Christ care? Who is worthy? The gates swing up, the doors give away I am free because I climb. But because I can't fall Lift the gates and open. Let the ancient doors arise. Here comes the king of glory, here comes redemption story. He lifts me from the dust and shame, calls me to leave by my name. This is my home, this is my place.
