About The Song

God has been doing some amazing things at South Fellowship Church! We have more then doubled in attendance over the past several years. Our finances are in much better order then they were a few years ago. There are several other encouraging facts BUT these are NOT the most important things! People are growing in their love of Jesus, people are meeting Jesus, and people are learning to trust the finished work of Jesus.

This song was written for a church that was seeing lots of growth. Watch the video to the left to hear about that. The text that this song came from is:

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the LORD has helped us.” (1 Samuel 7:12 ESV)

As we sing this song at South I want us to declare to ourselves and every generation that is birthed out of this church, WE ARE ABOUT JESUS! Knowing Jesus and making him known is what we want to be about no matter how we grow in numbers. Maybe as you sing this song, think about your kids leading this church in the future. Tell them what this church should be about. If you can’t think of what that is, here is a hint:

Jesus

Lyrics

Only King Forever CCLI # 7011438

Written By: Pastor Steven Furtick, Wade Joye, Chris Brown, Mack Brock

VERSE 1:

Our God, a firm foundation Our rock, the only solid ground As nations rise and fall

Kingdoms once strong now shaken But we trust forever in your name The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

CHORUS:
You are the only King forever Almighty God we lift you higher You are the only King forever Forevermore, you are victorious

VERSE 2:

Unmatched in all your wisdom In love and justice you will reign Every knee will bow

We bring our expectations
Our hope is anchored in your name The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

BRIDGE:

We lift our banner high We lift the name of Jesus From age to age you reign Your kingdom has no end
