Christ Our King: Song Story
In the summer of 2009, our Levites Ministry Team was ministering at a church in Hawaii. Our worship team had just finished doing its sound check for the evening’s worship service, and I sat down momentarily at the large grand piano in the church’s sanctuary. It was a beautiful church sanctuary, with large stained glass windows, and the sunlight was streaming through the stained glass, directly onto the place where I sat at the piano. I was freely playing unto the Lord a spontaneous song, when suddenly the lyrics and music for this song (Christ Our King) began flooding my being. The song virtually “wrote itself” as the lyrics and melodies tumbled out of my words and fingers on the keys. I had the sensation that the song itself was a gift of heaven, shining down from above as if through the sunlight beaming through the stained glass where I sat. It was an unforgettable moment of worship for me as I reflect on it. We have since included (in the music video) the imagery of sunlight pouring through a magnificent stained glass, as this is a reminder, not only of how this song came, but how Jesus Himself describes Himself as the Light which comes from heaven to earth. Our Levites Community worship team later had the privilege of worshiping in Israel, both at the beach at Caesarea (where the apostle Paul was imprisoned) and also at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. These were indescribably glorious moments in which to remember who Jesus is and what He has lovingly and sacrificially done for us. We sincerely hope and pray that everyone who experiences this worship song will personally encounter the risen Christ who so lovingly came and died so that we might have eternal life.
