V1
In the darkness, we were waiting
Without hope, without light
'Til from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

C1
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

V2
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

C2
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

V3
And the morning that You rose
All of Heaven held its breath
'Til 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

V4
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, ohh

C3
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

Praise forever to the King of Kings

I did not know there was a perfect channel I needed! I am leading King of Kings today and your video helped me a lot. I am looking forward to seeing other videos! You are a great vocal coach!

God is a right on time God! I was just assigned Sunday to learn and lead this one this coming Sunday, and I was looking for technique to give it the vocal dynamic these deep truths that Scripture deserves!

[charlotteasiimwe]

Thank you so much for this video. I led this song at my church last year. Thank you for the techniques, let me practice and do better next time

[saics]

Thank you so much for this video! It is a gem! I had one singing teacher who taught very similar to you! But he used nay, mum, and buh. He also tried to teach me about the head, chest, and pharyngeal, but I couldn’t get it at the time.

[brendabayley]

Love your videos! You inspire me to sing with passion & a humble heart towards Jesus! Learning so much!

[Muffiesable]

Many thanks for covering this song. It was helpful and all your videos are amazing. I have since transferred my learning to similar songs. My family think I am high when I go around the house singing in the noos, nays and buhs 😂🤣

[Tinkers]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I’m leading this song at my church and this song is out of my range and i was FREAKING out on the word ‘majesty’. Your tools were so helpful! Thank you!!

[brandonbrame]

[bonniesturkie]

[sharlys]

I did a Google search, "breathing techniques to sing King of Kings by Hillsong, " and came across your video. AMAZING! I got so much more. Thank you for sharing your gift, talent, and expertise! Do you have any tips about breath control in this song? I'm struggling with the build in verses 3 and 4 and sustaining the power. Thank you!

[jenniferestrera]

I know it's two years ago but i wanna improve my voice singing this song

[jamesgakunzi]

Thanks alot for serving the LORD.Blessings to you and your ministry.

[hannahfleming]

So helpful! I’m working on leading this one in my student band and this helped a lot! Can you do a tutorial for banner by brook ligerwood?

[Sefardess]

I'm leading this for this Sunday's 2 services. I've led this song before, but have not used this tutorial yet. This was extremely helpful. Thank you. You are so right that the song can get monotonous if not done with a lot of different dynamics. I was worried about that until I listened to this tutorial. Thank you so much.

Hey, thanks so much for this Charmain! Singing this for Sunday worship and this was super helpful. You are incredible! Been praying you're doing good, haven't seen any new you tube videos in a while from ya, hope you're just busy with the WV website/classes. 💛

[monikasimmonsrealestate]

I was asked to sing this on Sunday and usually the soprano on our team does it just fine. I'm an Alto voice and Majesty is a struggle but I should be able to pull it off with the tips you are sharing. Thank you for explaining dynamics so the song has movement.
