Our King Has Come
Theology & Meaning
A reflective worship song that celebrates the coming of King Jesus. Its especially fitting for Advent and Christmas, but it also works year-round as a declaration of Christs reign and nearness. This song draws from the incarnation theme: God with us in Jesus (Matthew 1:23). It celebrates Christs kingship not as distant power but as saving presence. The lyric naturally aligns with the gospel announcement that the kingdom has come near in Christ (Mark 1:15). It invites worship that is both tender and confident: the King has come, therefore we have hope.
Worship Leadership Tips
This works beautifully as a quiet opener in Advent, or as a reflective reset before communion. Keep the arrangement sparse and warm. If your church loves to sing, consider adding a soft harmony on the final chorus instead of building volume. A Scripture reading from Luke 2 can frame it well without over-explaining.
