Brandon Lake - King of Hearts Lyrics
Official




Yeah
+
I saw the nails
+
I heard the hammer
+
King of the Jews
+
Carved into a wooden banner
+
Made You a crown
+
Bloodied Your temple
+
You could have come down
+
But in silence, we both trembled
+
You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
+
You poured me grace, I poured You poison
+
But still You drank my cup of shame
+
With all that I've done, could I be forgiven?
+
Is there still a way to enter Your kingdom?
+
I'm just a thief beside a King
+
King of hearts
+
I looked to my side
+
I only had seconds
+
Please remember we met
+
When You're seated high in Heaven
+
He spoke in a whisper
+
Looking deep in my eyes
+
Said, "Son, this time tomorrow, we will be in paradise"
+
You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
+
You poured me grace, that blood keeps on running
+
A love so great, You took my place
+
After all that I've done, I've been forgiven
+
Those scars made a way to enter Your kingdom
+
On golden streets beside a King
+
King of the poor, King of the lowly
+
King of the broken, King of the lonely
+
King of the hopeless, King of the gone-too-fars
+
King of hearts
+
King of the lost, King of the guilty
+
King of the misfits, King of the filthy
+
King of critics, King of the brand-new start
+
King of hearts, oh
+
Oh-ooh
+
Ah-ah
+
Ah-ah
+
You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
+
You poured me grace, that blood keeps on running
+
A love so great, You took my place
+
After all that I've done, I've been forgiven
+
Those scars made a way to enter Your kingdom
+
On golden streets, redeemed and free
+
A beloved thief right beside His King
+
King of hearts
+

Brandon Lake - King of Hearts Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"King of Hearts" is a song by American singer-songwriter Brandon Lake, appearing as the title track from his fifth studio album, King of Hearts. The song was released on June 13, 2025, through Provident Label Group and Sony Music Entertainment. It was cowritten by Lake, Jacob Sooter, and Hank Bentley, with Sooter and Bentley producing. With the song's release, both a music video and a lyric video were released.

Lake said of the song,

"It's not for the seemingly put together, but for those honest about their brokenness, longing to connect with their Creator. He is King of the universe, nations, creation-but most of all, King of hearts."

The song reflects the genres of pop, praise/worship, and Christian contemporary, with themes around forgiveness and grace.

Jasmine Patterson of New Release Today reviews that the song's main focus is "singing the truth of the gospel message in the form of testimony--the cross, grace, salvation, and how Jesus wins our hearts". Furthermore, she elaborated, explaining that this is "the height of captivating poetry and imagery on an album that already does that so well". Patterson also labelled the bridge as "one of the best bridges I've heard".
