About this Hymn
"Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, he is faithful through it all" is a timely reminder for us. Our God, who was, is, and is to come, is actively working in our world. "As beautifully as he hung the stars in space, he has faithfully been our strong fortress in every storm. We can trust his unchanging character because he has perfectly revealed himself to us in the cross, and powerfully defeated even death itself. The Eternal King is a God of love, leading his people into everlasting life." – Aaron Keyes
Lyrics
Verse 1
God, the uncreated One, the Author of salvation, who wrote the laws of space and time and fashioned worlds to his design. The One whom angel hosts revere hung the stars like chandeliers, numbered ev'ry grain of sand, knows the heart of ev'ry man. He is King forever, he is King forever, he is King forevermore.
Verse 2
God, our fortress and our strength, the Rock on which we can depend. Matchless in his majesty, his power, and authority. Unshaken by the schemes of man, never-changing Great I AM. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, he is faithful through it all. Crown him King forever, crown him King forever, crown him King forevermore.
Verse 3
Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor's kiss. The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace. O lifted high, the sinless Man, crucified, the spotless Lamb. Buried by the sons of man, rescued by the Father's hand to reign as King forever, reign as King forever, reign as King forevermore.
Verse 4
King eternal, God of grace, we crown you with the highest praise. Heaven shouts and saints adore. You're holy, holy, holy Lord. What joy in everlasting life: all is love and faith is sight. Justice rolls and praises rise at the name of Jesus Christ. King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore!
