Sing To Our Good & Gracious King!
A SONG OF REJOICING IN THE LORD
This Sunday, as we gather to “take joy in the God of our salvation” (Hab 3:18), we’ll be singing a new song. “Good and Gracious King” by Cityalight will put the praise of the prophet Habakkuk freshly on our lips. Helping us to rejoice in God because whatever we lack, we have him. And he’s with us, for us, and powerfully and lovingly reigning over everything in our lives. Even “though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,” (Hab 3:17), we have “the promise of acceptance, from a good and gracious King.”
Listen to the song here and read through the lyrics below.
VERSE 1
I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King
I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise
CHORUS
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You’re a good and gracious King
VERSE 2
O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again
BRIDGE
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King
