When I first heard this song it spoke volumes to me because this is exactly how I feel sometimes. Maybe it’s the way you’re feeling too? So many times we try to make YHWH fit into our lives, into our beliefs, into our smallness of thinking.
Instead of recognizing that He is the KING of the WORLD. He created ALL things, including you and me. He KNOWS EVERYTHING, even the things you don’t think He knows about. He SEES EVERYTHING you’re going through. He sees the pain you go through in the midnight hour when everyone is asleep. He hears the laughter in your voice when something makes you happy. He is not small at all. He holds the whole world and the heavens together.
From this day forward let’s try and remember that He is bigger than us. He’s bigger than the whole world.
Father Yah, forgive us for making you so small in our lives. It is we, who are small – small in size, in mind, in belief and in our thoughts. You are the King of the World and the King of the Universe. You are Great and Mighty and there is no one like You. You are magnificent! Lord, whenever I think small of You, quicken my spirit to recognize it so I can correct my thinking.

King of the World Lyrics
I tried to fit you in the walls inside my mind
I try to keep you safely in between the lines
I try to put you in the box that I’ve designed
I try to pull you down so we are eye to eye
When did I forget that you’ve always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you’ve always been the king of the world
Just a whisper of your voice can tame the seas
So who am I to try to take the lead
Still I run ahead and think I’m strong enough
When you’re the one who made me from the dust
When did I forget that you’ve always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you’ve always been the king of the world
Oh, you set it all in motion
Every single moment
You brought it all to me
And you’re holding on to me
When did I forget that you’ve always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget you’ve always been the king of the world
You will always be the king of the world
