Some are known by great authority
For kingdoms as far as eyes can see
In royal robes, they rule from thrones
Waging war, they overthrow the weak
And call it victory
My king is known by mercy
My king is known by grace
For the hope in His name
And the power that saves
My king is known by the cross
My king is known by an empty grave
Oh, in all that He does
My king is known by love
I can almost see Him even now
Rejected with thorns upon His brown
What kind of king would leave His throne
To make my sin and shame His own
Yet, He gave His life for me
He gave His life for me
My king is known by mercy
My king is known by grace
For the hope in His name
And the power that saves
My king is known by the cross
My king is known by an empty grave
Oh, in all that He does
My king is known by
A love that welcomes everyone
As His daughters and His sons
And no one is ever turned away (no one is ever turned away)
'Cause my king is known by mercy
And my king is known by grace
For the hope in His name
And the power that saves
My king is known by the cross (known by the cross)
My king is known by an empty grave
Oh, in all that He does (all that He does)
My king is known by His love (my king is known by His love)
His amazing love (my king is known by His love)
My king is known by love
