King of Kings Majesty - Cooper

This is a worship song about Jesus' glory as the King

It was written by Welch-born, English Pentecostal musician, singer-songwriter and worship-leader, Jarrod Cooper (b 1970). It was written in 1996, inspired by an encounter with the glory God's which he had while flying to South Africa (ref), and released the same year by Sovereign Lifestyle Music

It has been published in recent editions of many major UK & Ireland hymn books, including:

Hymns Ancient & Modern Ltd, London, 2013
Anglican Hymns Old and New, Kevin Mayhew Ltd, Great Britian, 2008
Complete Mission Praise, Marshall Pickering, London, 1999
Singing the Faith, Hymns Ancient & Modern for the Methodist Church, London, 2011
The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook, Canterbury Press, Norwich, 2004

These books are the best way to get sheet music for the song, as it does not appear to have been released separately.

It is set to an unnamed tune, also by Cooper. This has a 4/4 time signature. In the key of G, the first few notes of the melody are D A,B, A,B, B,_ GF E E A, B,B, C with accompanying chords G / D / G / C / D.

1. King of kings, majesty, God of Heaven living in me ...

Your majesty, I can but bow,
I lay my all before you now.
In royal robes I don’t deserve
I live to serve your majesty.

2. Earth and Heaven worship you, love eternal, faithful and true ...
