I've always loved the idea of Jesus as King, even though so many earthly examples of kings, presidents, world leaders, etc. are so messed up. I wanted to write a worship song that would convey the contrast between the kings of this world and the one, truly good king who loves his people and isn't corrupted by money and power.
Would love any feedback on the song in general. Also if it paints the picture I hoped it would and if it's congregational.
Good King
