There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of Love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
There on the cross, they made for sinners
For every curse, His blood atoned
One final breath and it was finished
But not the end we could've known
For the earth began to shake
And the veil was torn
What sacrifice was made
As the heavens roared
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
There was a moment when the sky lit up
A flash of light breaking through
When all was lost He crossed eternity
The King of life was on the move
For in a dark cold tomb
Where our Lord was laid
One miraculous breath
And we're forever changed
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
Let every knee
Come bow before the King of Kings
Let every tongue
Confess that He is Lord
Lift up your shout
Let us join with all of Heaven
Singin' holy
We're singin' holy, yeah
We cry out holy
We're singin' holy
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
"All Hail King Jesus" by Shane & Shane is a powerful worship song that exalts the name of Jesus and declares His lordship over heaven and earth. This song is a beautiful expression of adoration and praise to our Savior, and it reminds us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made on the cross and the victory He achieved through His resurrection.
The lyrics of the song take us through the journey of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It begins by acknowledging the darkest day in history when death seemed to have claimed its victory. Jesus, the King of Love, willingly gave up His life for sinners, taking upon Himself every curse and atoning for our sins with His precious blood. The song highlights the significance of Jesus' final breath on the cross, declaring that it was finished, but not the end we could have known.
As the song progresses, it shifts to the moment of Jesus' resurrection. The earth begins to shake, and the veil in the temple is torn, symbolizing the breaking of barriers between God and humanity. The sacrifice Jesus made on the cross was not in vain; it had a profound impact on the entire world. The heavens themselves roared, acknowledging the victory of our Savior.
The chorus of the song proclaims, "All hail King Jesus, all hail the Lord of heaven and earth, all hail the Savior of the world." This declaration echoes the words of Philippians 2:9-11, which says, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
The bridge of the song invites us to bow before the King of Kings and confess that He is Lord. It encourages us to lift up our voices in praise and join with all of heaven in declaring the holiness of Jesus. This section of the song reminds us of Isaiah 6:3, where the seraphim continually cry out, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
"All Hail King Jesus" is a powerful worship anthem that reminds us of the incredible love and sacrifice of Jesus. It points us to the victory achieved through His death and resurrection and calls us to bow before Him in adoration and praise. This song beautifully captures the essence of our faith and the truth of Scripture.
As we sing this song, we are reminded of the incredible significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. We are reminded that He is not just a historical figure or a religious leader, but the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He deserves all honor, glory, and praise, and it is our joy and privilege to declare His lordship over our lives and over the entire world.
"All Hail King Jesus" is a song that stirs our hearts and leads us into a place of worship and surrender. It reminds us of the truth of Scripture and the power of the gospel. May we always lift up our voices and proclaim the name of Jesus, for He alone is worthy of all praise and adoration. All hail King Jesus!
