Here Is Our King
Song Notes
We’ll do thisĀ in a Wesley arrangement that differs slightly from the David Crowder Band recording. For the intro and verses, I like to have one guitar picking the G, G/B, and C chords like this:
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G--------0-----0------------0------0-----------0------0-----------0------0--------- D-----0-----0------0-----0------0------0----0------0------0----0------0------0----- A---------------------2------2------2----3------3------3----3------3------3-------- E--3-----3------3------------------------------------------------------------------
To make the song a little easier for the congregation to follow, we play the Bridge as 4 measures per line rather than mimic the awkward way that David Crowder cuts bars short to be able to fit the word “Here” at the end. We also standardize the last line of the verses so that the lead-in to the Pre-chorus is the same both times.
The final time through the chorus (Chorus 4) should be very light, possibly with only the guitar picking the chords.

Lyrics
From wherever spring arrives
To heal the ground,
From where ever searching comes
To look itself,
A trace of what we’re looking for,
So be quiet now
And wait.
[Pre-chorus 1]
The ocean
Is growing.
The tide is coming in.
Here it is.
[Chorus 1]
Here is our King.
Here is our Love.
Here is our God who’s come to bring us back to Him.
He is the one.
He is Jesus.
[Verse 2]
And what was said to the rose
To make it unfold
Was said to me here in my chest,
So be quiet now
And rest.
[Pre-chorus 2]
The ocean
Is growing.
The tide is coming in.
Here it is.
Here is our King.
Here is our Love.
Here is our God who’s come to bring us back to Him.
He is the one.
He is Jesus.
[Chorus 3]
Here is our King.
Here is our Love.
Here is our God who’s come to bring us back to Him.
He is the one.
He is Jesus.
[Bridge 1]
Majesty,
Finally.
[Bridge 2]
Majesty,
Finally.
[Chorus 4]
Here is our King.
Here is our Love.
Here is our God who’s come to bring us back to Him.
He is the one.
He is Jesus.
