Crown Him

Theology & Meaning

A corporate declaration of Christ's lordship—calling every voice and heart to crown Jesus as King. Draws on the tradition of coronation-hymn worship (Crown Him with Many Crowns) but with a fresh, contemporary expression. The act of crowning in worship anticipates the eschatological moment when every knee will bow.

Worship Leadership Tips

A powerful corporate worship moment. Jeremy Riddle's style lends itself to extended, Spirit-led worship. Works mid-set as a declaration of lordship or as a response to a message on the kingship of Christ. Allow the congregation to stand and sing with conviction.

Arrangement Tips

Piano and acoustic guitar build to full-band chorus. Pads create atmosphere throughout. The song can be extended freely in the bridge section—Bethel and Vineyard Anaheim have both used it in extended worship settings. Electric guitar with volume-swells adds emotional texture.
