It says “I never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross… Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved,” repeatedly until the song ends.
King of Majesty
The song begins with the lines, “You know that I love You, You know that I want You.” The refrain plays, “King of majesty, I have one desire, is to be with You, my Lord,” and “Jesus, You are the Savior of my soul, and forever I give my praises to You.” Those who would like to praise God through hip tunes are surely taken by the great lyrics and arrangement of this song.
