Psalm 21 | Song of the King (MSAL)

Lyrics and music by Jody Killingsworth

O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad
You grant the desires of his heart, and I’ll add
You never refuse to answer his voice
With songs of salvation he’ll greatly rejoice

Blessings abound wherever he treads
You’ve set a big crown of fine gold on his head
He asked You for life, You lengthened his days
Forever, and ever, and ever, always

His glory is great, for greatly You save
He’s clothed in the splendor and honor
You gave When into Your joy he entered approved
In the strength of Your love he stands there and unmoved

Oh, let the earth and the heavens ring!
Oh, come join your voices and sing!
Oh, let the earth and the heavens ring!
Oh, let’s sing the song of the King!

O Lord, in Your strength the king will go out
In faith that’s unshaken by fear or by doubt
Your hand will be there to find out his foes
And follow to guard him wherever he goes

Though enemies rise and stand in his path
You swallow them up in the fire of Your wrath
Their children You waste and wipe from the earth
No memory remains of the time of their birth

Schemers will ploy, conspirers will plot
But for their traps it’s them who get caught
You make them turn tail, and give them to chase
Then You point Your bowstring into their face

Oh, let the earth and the heavens ring!
Oh, come join your voices and sing!
Oh, let the earth and the heavens ring!
Oh, let’s sing the song of the King! (x2)
