Story behind the song “The King Is Alive”:

“‘The King Is Alive’ is a reminder for my children’s generation, and every generation, that the resurrection of Jesus is not just a story from the past, but a present-day reality that inspires us to live with purpose and hope. It is the source of our strength and the reason for our joy. I hope this song gets you ignited to tell the world Jesus is as alive today as He was when He walked among us.”

“I feel like I’ve waited forever for this song to come out and I’m just so so excited… I found this quote from my buddy Max Lucado. He says, "The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a historical event to be commemorated. It’s a spiritual reality to be experienced every day in the lives of those who believe." And for me, ya’ll, that’s what this song is all about. It’s about reminding everyone that Jesus is just as alive today as he was when he walked this earth. That’s our joy, that’s our hope - the King is alive.”

Luke 24:1-7 ESV
”But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.’”

Lyrics to “The King Is Alive”:

Listen
How many of y'all know that the King is alive?
Whoo!

Come on now, getting loud with it
Sing it out, tell 'em God did it (God did it)
He beat the grave and He's still livin'
Risen to set the soul free

Why would I keep this song inside? (Hallelujah, ah-ah)
I think it's time to testify
Throwing my hands up to the sky (Hallelujah, ah-ah)
Jesus is alive!

The praises don't stop, the devil's been dropped
Got some good news coming straight from the top
He saved me from the fire, lifted me higher
Feeling so good, gonna sing it with the choir
The King is alive, alive
I said the King is alive, alive

Crazy days got my head swimming, but
We know the One who keeps the world spinning (the world spinning)
We never lost, and we keep winning
'Cause Jesus is still on the throne (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Why would I keep this song inside? (Hallelujah, ah-ah)
I think it's time to testify
Throwing my hands up to the sky (Hallelujah, ah-ah)
Jesus is alive!

Come on and praise the name, somebody praise the name (Jesus)
'Cause we're forever saved and death is in the grave (oh yeah)
Come on and praise the name, somebody praise the name (Jesus)
'Cause we're forever saved and death is in the grave (oh)

And the praises don't stop, the devil's been dropped
I got some good news coming straight from the top
He saved me from the fire, lifted me higher
I'm feeling so good, gonna sing it with the choir
The King is alive, alive (ooh)
The King is alive (yeah, yeah), alive (yeah)

I said the King is alive, alive
Sing it with me (alive, alive) ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
