Long Live The King lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Long Live The King lyrics My heart keeps beating even though I can?t control it. My lungs keep breathing I admit I don?t know how. Bring the flood or bring the fire in this lifetime I?m ready for the altar or the plough There are always days when I don?t feel like singing There are always days when I don?t care at all But I know the King of All Creation reigns completely Over every moment great and small Long live the One who gives us Life and peace and hope for tomorrow You?ve given everything we needed From the palm of Your hand I?ll give my everything to the One Who pledged to cancel My sorrow All I have is Yours (Long Live the King) Humbly we approach Your throne of Mercy Aware that we?re unworthy of Your Grace (But) You have offered pardon and forgiveness Grievances are gone without a trace You restore our lives even though we don?t deserve it And You?ve given us a love that?s not our own You assemble all our broken, shattered pieces: More beautiful than I had ever known You Shall Reign Forever and Ever You Shall Reign, You Shall Reign Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever and Behind the Song: "I was driving to a memorial concert for Rick Pearson, a friend who had died of leukemia at the age of 23. He had everything going for him?he led worship at his church, at camps and at conferences, had recently gotten engaged and everybody seemed to love him. But for reasons that God only knows, Rick?s time on earth was short. I felt like I should turn off the radio and drive in silence. It was a nice September day in Atlanta, and the top was down on my Jeep?I was just trying to enjoy the drive. But my thoughts were stuck on Rick and how God operates in an incredible way during times of apparent tragedy. The chorus to this song just came pouring out in the middle of my drive. Long live the One who gives us life, and peace and hope for tomorrow! Life does not end here! God reigns over all time and eternity, and has invited us to join Him. I?ll give my everything to the One who pledged to cancel my sorrow." - Aaron Shust song lyrics
