That's the King I Know

That's the King I know (that's the King),
High and holy, close enough to hold me.
That's the King I know —
Every crown comes down, every knee bows low.

I won't start by asking (no, not yet),
I'll start by saying who You are:
The One who split the darkness
And still knows me by my scar.
Defender in the courtroom (defender),
Shepherd on the hill,
Healer in the midnight
When the whole room has gone still.
He wears a robe of glory,
But He knows me by my name.

So before I bring a single need (before),
Let the throne room hear my creed —
This is the King, and He's for me:

That's the King I know (that's the King),
Too high to hold, but He holds me.
Crowns come down, knees bow low —
That's the King I know.

That's the King (that's the King),
Strong in battle, gentle when He calls.
Holy, holy, over all —
That's the King.

He does not need my trumpet (no)
To be lifted up on high,
But my mouth was made for glory,
So I'll shout it to the sky.
Savior when I'm falling (Savior),
Friend when I'm alone,
The One the angels worship
Still calls this heart His home.
He rules a thousand kingdoms,
And still He bends to carry me.

Who's the Healer? (that's the King)
Who's the Shepherd, who's the Lion? (that's the King)
Who's the Rock I'm standing on? (that's the King)
Who wears the crown and calls me son? (that's the King)

King of glory, King of grace (King of grace),
King who wears a servant's face,
King who bled and King who rose,
King whose hands still hold me close.
Lay the crowns down at His feet (lay them down) —
The more I name Him, the more I see:
He could stay high on His throne,
But He calls this whole heart His own.

That's the King I know (that's the King),
Too high to hold, but He holds me.
Crowns come down, knees bow low —
And He reigns in me, I know.

Every crown, every throne (every one),
The King who reigns forever
Gave His own crown to ransom me —
That's the King I know.
