Listen to this great rendition of ‘King Of Kings’ by Newsboys and featuring Bart Millard.
“In the darkness we were waiting, without hope without light
‘Till 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
Praise the Father, praise the Son, praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory, Majesty, praise forever to the King of Kings”
What a wonderful version of this song! Originally from Hillsong Worship, the Newsboys and Bart Millard put their own spin on ‘King Of Kings’ and they sound amazing together!
“Amen and hallelujah! Love this song and love the collaboration of two of my favorite artists!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video.
“Wow! What a beautiful song full of Holy Spirit power! Thank you, Newsboys,” writes another person online.
Brooke Ligertwood is part of Hillsong Worship, and she shared a bit about the song and what makes it so special.
“‘King of Kings’ is an attempt to summarize the story of the Gospel and the church. This song is firmly rooted in scripture and packed full of theology. Theology releases praise,” she says. “We hope and we pray that the song articulates the heart of the Gospel and the story of the church, starting with the birth of Jesus and through Pentecost essentially and then placing ourselves within that story, with the birth of the Church and our salvation stories.”
Brooke continues: “Hopefully, it becomes a song that we can sing every week, as a reminder of who we are in our origins and also our future. It's leaning towards liturgy in a way with a devotional angle where people can find themselves in the journey of the song and give praise to God. When we believe correctly about God, when we understand and get a greater revelation of who God is and what He's done, we can't help but respond in worship.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this version of ‘King Of Kings’ today!
