Christ Is King

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I’ve been watching the slogans get twisted and spun “Christ is King” rolling off every tongue But it ain’t praise — it’s a battle cry now A political weapon, a brand, a vow They scream it in crowds while they spread the hate They wear it like armor, they swing it like fate It ain’t about worship, it ain’t about love It’s about power, division, and claiming the throne [Chorus] You say “Christ is King” — but that’s the thing You’re taking the Name in vain You think there won’t be a price to pay When the King returns on the Great Day You say “Christ is King” — but here’s the thing You’re swinging the Name like a sword You think the Lord won’t settle the score When you take His name in vain for war [Verse 2] They post “Christ is King” with a mouth full of filth Cursing and mocking and threatening for thrills Sexualizing strangers, then saying His name Like the name and the shame are one and the same They aren’t even Christian — they don’t live it or care They just use the slogan to signal they’re there It ain’t devotion, it ain’t coming from love It’s proof that the Name is being dragged through the mud [Chorus] You say “Christ is King” — but that’s the thing You’re taking the Name in vain You think there won’t be a price to pay When the King returns on the Great Day You say “Christ is King” — but here’s the thing You’re swinging the Name like a sword You think the Lord won’t settle the score When you take His name in vain for war [Verse 3] The phrase is beautiful when you know what it means The Jewish Messiah, the Lion of Judah, the King of Kings His roots run deep through the prophets and law Fulfilling the promises the Father once swore But here’s the cruel irony nobody will say They’re using the Lion of Judah to attack Judah today Romans eleven still stands like a light God hasn’t rejected the people in His sight Yet they weaponize the Name of the One who was sent To bless the very people they’re taught to resent [Bridge] I’m not here to preach, I’m just calling it out The Name that was meant for worship and praise Is now a political weapon and shout A slogan for rage in this faithless age You can scream it all day, you can scream it out loud But the King sees the heart behind every sound And one day the veil will be ripped from the crowd [Crescendo] When the Name that was holy comes crashing back down! [Chorus] You say “Christ is King” — but that’s the thing You’re taking the Name in vain You think there won’t be a price to pay When the King returns on the Great Day You say “Christ is King” — but here’s the thing You’re swinging the Name like a sword You think the Lord won’t settle the score When you take His name in vain for war [Outro] Christ is King and the King will win (The King will win, the King will win) Christ is King and the King will win (The King will win, the King will win) THE KING WILL WIN!!
