I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King
I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You’re a good and gracious King
O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King - เพลง
I am tearing up. Jesus saved me 2 two years ago from the deepest and darkest pit. He took me out of it AND placed my feet on solid ground, Jesus Christ!
When I read this:
I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King
Wow! I can't help but wonder how beautiful and BIBLICALLY-based the lyrics are! Thank you for making music that reflects God's Word. Our Only Source and The Only Source of Eternal Life!
I'm 72. first listened to christian music at the age of 17, as a university undergraduate who one day wandered into the music room of the university library. A kind librarian walked me through the configuration. There was a run of turntables to play 33 LP albums, with large leather-covered headphones that made listeners resemble World War II dive bombers. The audio fidelity was divine. The librarian introduced me to scores of composers, including Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mozart, Chopin, and Debussy. And to virtuoso performers, who are no longer with us, but whose music continues on in their illustrious legacies of astounding talent embraced by captivating interpretation. This gift, which introduced me to christian music at age 17, has remained with me throughout the years, and I am profoundly grateful. If I were to perish tonight, I am confident that it would be a very successful death. I have much to leave behind for my children and relatives. A piece of advice I offer is to never pass up an opportunity presented to you by those who came before you. I wasn't successful until I was 71, and just one piece of advice changed my life. A woman and a mother named Rainey Holt Qualley googled her rhq-portfolio . id and emailed her, Turned my 401k into some stocks that gained 300% ROI in price and I made a lot of profit. I owe it to God and to this woman to express my gratitude. I'd want everyone here to help me show my appreciation to her. I talk about her often and at every available occasion. I've heard about destiny assistants before, but I never imagined God would send me one of his own. I just invested and things turned around for good. If you'd want to thank her, you may reach her at rhq - portfolio . id. Now I can say with pride that I run a foundation that assists children in institutional care. When I considered potential uses for the money I am making, it was the first thing that sprang to me. This is a regular reality in many African countries, and it saddens my heart to think of the impact it has on children. You may be certain that this story's ultimate goal is to inspire you. I pray that God would give us the fortitude to endure this ,
“To the king in need of NOTHING, empty handed I rejoice”
AMEN!!! 🙏✝️🙏🙏🙏
Just reading others comments and stories make me weep with joy! Thank you for bringing people together with biblical song
This was our wedding song in April 2023. God bless you all and your families in Jesus mighty name.
You're one blessed family. May the Lord bless and keep you in His steadfast love.
God bless your family Jennifer! May it be full of God's mercy, favour and joy! What a beautiful song that you have chosen for your wedding ❤️
Thank you for posting this. As I listened to this song, tears filled my eyes for Gods grace in my life. I have been standing for my prodigal covenant husband to come back to God for seven years now. When the Lord brings him home and we are a family again, I will echo this song in our wedding as well.
God bless you and your husband. Keep him at the center of each of your lives and then at the center together as one.
Every time I listen to CityAlight, I always feel like crying - even straight weeping most times. Their songs are so simple and yet so on point! Too often the recent worship songs have become too self-focused. Praise God for this band for drawing worship back to the only One who deserves it - our good and gracious God and King!
Strange me to...the moment they begin singing i find myself crying
❤🎉love❤❤🎉😮😅
Me to many times in Prayer Closet I use them in praising the Lord and just burst out in joyous tears of what God has done in my life delivered me from life of homosexuality.
Yes you are right even me when I start listening cityalight song wheeping and crying it’s very hard to control because cityalight songs are holly spirit filled it’s full of sermon . God bless cityalight.
Yes! It's all about Him 👑 - the King of glory! When He is being honoured, lifted up it brings tears to my eyes too! It's all about Him 👑! 🌹
I left all the faith movement and prosperity worship songs because i want to worship Our Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and in truth as i asked the Holy Spirit to lead,guide and show me "The Truth that set me free", since then i listen to your praise and worship as i found it during my fighting with covid-19 , listen and listen over and over the time of the struggling. Peace and Grace from our Father and from Jesus Christ are with you all.
Greetings from Switzerland
Dear Sarah, I live in South Wales, UK and so appreciate what you have written (even though I haven't had Covid). I can really imagine the comfort and strength this wonderful song of worship and praise has been to you. I underwent open heart surgery two years ago, and the Lord came to my aid when I was in desperate need. He truly is our Good Shepherd and He really does leads us in 'paths of righteousness' when we cry out to Him. Your words show me that you are a sister in the Lord... this gives me deep joy. We belong to each other because we belong to Him.
I am 60 years old and I love your Christ-centered, Christ exalting music! By God’s grace may you always bring Him glory and edify the saints.
I love the line, "to the King in need of nothing, empty handed I rejoice"... solid forever true... and the melody brings tears...
Yes
God loves you just the same as he loves me!!! 😊😊😊😊
My favorite Christian band for me because of the way they sing and perform, the music, the lyrics and the sound theology they emphasize in the lyrics. Keep on pursuing Him and His glory alone, guys.
Amen 🙏 bruh
My life is being changed by the music of this Christian group. And now the music and worship minister of my church is using their music. I praise God for CityAlight.
Good evening, Lal. Every righteous Christian should preach the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ every week. The everlasting gospel is to believe on the Lord Jesus, repent of your deeds, and keep the commandments of Jesus if you love him. We must abstain from (fornication, idolatry, blood, strangled things) the FIBS before we can say that we have turned to God. Do you love Judge Jesus the Almighty enough to respect each holy day, each new moon, and each sabbath? Colossians 2:8,16,18. Old King James Bible. Do you love the Lord Jesus enough to stop making yourself abominable, and to stop eating abominations like swine (pig/pork/bacon…), chicken, turkey, catfish, lobster, mouse, shrimp, cicada, etc? Revelation 21:8, Leviticus 11:43, Deuteronomy 14, Revelation 18:2. Now Romans 14 is clearly talking about fast days (not eating to the Lord) and the feast days of men like anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, weddings, promotions, dedications, etc. And Romans 14 also speaks about the people (biblitarian clean beast eaters) who may eat all things God said was clean, and the people who only eat herbs (herbivore vegetarians/vegans). Biblitarians are stronger, healthier and live longer than herbivores. God was the one who esteemed, blessed, sanctified, and hallowed the sabbath day. He also blesses each new moon, and holy feast day. He did NOT bless and does NOT esteem the first day sunday, turkeyday, Christmas, Easter, crossover (January 1st), Ramadan, friday, nor other heathen days. REPENT of your deeds and preach the true gospel to sinners in the streets. Jesus hates the deeds and the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes which is grace and the traditions of men. I pray that the Holy Ghost will open your eyes to the truth. Have a good remnant of the year.
@@1newearth -- Romans 14:4-6 New King James Version
4 "Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. 5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks."
@@marka1422 God blessed, sanctified, and hallowed the seventh day and esteems it more than any day of the week. People feast to the Lord and some others fast (no eating) to the Lord and give God thanks. Good evening and God bless you.
This worship song has Hebrews ch 4 written all over it. I'm in complete tears, over the goodness and grace of God.....😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌
What is God? Does he even exist?
@@HellerVali Nature itself is enough evidence that God is present....
@@HellerVali You're actually missing a lot if you think that The one who gave you breathe doesn't exist.
@@victorchidi2681 my mom gave me breath. She exist due to evolution
❤Ty Lord Father for all your Mercies and difficulties I've had to my Life so I can become stronger and keep my eyes on you! Ty for all my Blessings 🙌 ❤️
I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk💜🕊💜 I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! ✌💜🕊🙏
It saddens me that so many have been fooled in their pride to not accept that they are sinners... It's a hard pill to swallow but it's reward is HIM!
You don't have to fight alone, we can have victory in His Name
My God and My King... Thank you for protecting me and Thank you for the times I don't see it and forget to thank you and yet you still bless me with Mercy
CityAlight is part of an Anglican Church so they/we have a rich theological history that we are able to draw from. There are deep wells to draw from, thanks be to God!
How is Anglican seperate from Catholic? Genuinely curious
@@uke7084
A few things. Anglicans don’t have a Pope; don’t venerate Mary (but certainly hold her in high regard!); Anglican priests can marry. And some important reforms were put in place to correct accretions that had developed in the Roman Church. Those are a few that come to mind.
It’s all about God’s kingdom where Christ reigns King. There are 66 books in His Word. He is His Word. The Word made flesh to die for us so we can be born of Him having died to self. For as many as are led by His Spirit these are sons(children) of God.
Nice job taking credit for their music
@@Mr.MarkGuerrerothank you Sir. Its all about Christ Jesus.
Everytime I listen to a Cityalight song I get goose bumps. All their lyrics are so meaningful and touching. I feel so blessed to have the Lord Jesus as my God and Saviour. If ever I get a chance I want witness Cityalight Live.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
PRAISE BE TO GOD
WORTHY IS HE
SOVEREIGN GOD AND KING
Amen Daniel. Our God is eternal and is always always the answer.

Your music exalts the Lord our God. Please stay true to biblical theology as you continue to write this incredibly worshipful music. Thank you all so much! For YOUR GLORY LORD JESUS!
Amen! ✝️✝️🙏🙏
My soul jumps with the joy whilst tears pours down my cheeks in absolute gratitude 🙏🏻 HE DESERVE A GREATER GLORY
I'm so pleased someone told me about this group. The music is so God centered and enjoyable!
My therapist song am going through depression but this song keeps me moving
I got a touch from the lord with this song. I was in a Christian rehab nd we had Chapel every morning nd on Saturday we decided to just have a worship instead of sermon. The spirit came down nd I was in tears, powerful stuff. Praise God 👏 🙌
"King in need of Nothing" so very GOD!!! What can this vapor of a man give? Praise be to GOD for this song!
Proud to be a jesusian kid..😇 Praise the lord Almighty.. Glorious king is the greatest and Saviour to the World.. King 👑 of Heavens.. 🛡️🙏👑
This is the true message of the gospel, all of him and nothing about us. Enjoying the inheritance based on the assurance of his gracious love.
Amen
Beautifully said
Be blessed 🙏
Yes! Eternity at the feet of king Jesus…..even if I end up among the least in the new kingdom forever I will worship Him
Jesus Christ, our Good and Gracious King deserves a greater glory everyday. 🎵🙌🏼 Thanks CityAlight, God bless you all. 🙏🏼💯
I used to listen to . Hillsong and elevation worship but one thing I find so special in city alight is the modern day hymn.and I love it so.much and it's very comfortable to sing along with them because there is no like high pitch voice where it's deficult to follow the worship leader...
I know like I cannot listen to Keith and Kristyn Getty- something about her voice.
Praise the Lord for these wonderfull Lyrics.. They always Remind me of how holy, loving, caring and gracious our One and only GOD is. ❤️🙏
This is such a beautiful worship song. It for His greater glory. Sometimes we don't know why we go through our trials and life circumstances but it is fir His greater glory. We love You Jesus. Please protect all of us and our children.
to get rid of all the dross and self-reliance or worldly reliance. idolatry can be so subtle and god wants us to rely upon totally which is the process of sanctification. remember how jesus relied upon his fathers provisions
God bless you!!🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
By Your love I am accepted.Wow.Beautiful words.My heart sings with you all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing timeless, beautiful biblical truths back into worship
"To the King in need of nothing, empty handed, I rejoice" 💘💘♥️
This was what stood out to me so strongly... The King in need of nothing... And my empty cup. What else can you say about the deep grace of God. So beautiful.
This is one of my favorite Christian bands in the world!!! 😊😊😊😊😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
True praise makes it about God and not about us. CityAlight you do the kingdom a wonderful service by remembering this core truth. God bless, extended family in Christ!
This is true worship. I love biblically centered Gospel songs.
Great worship song. I really appreciate what you - the team of musicians and writers at St Pauls' Castle Hill, Sydney, Australia, are doing for worship music all over the world to uplift the precious NAME OF CHRIST JESUS..
There’s anointing in your songs. So powerful
So moving
Thank you Jesus for CityAlight
How good and pleasant it is when the brethren dwell together in unity!
..for decades i been longing for human contact, connection + could not find one in the fellowship I attend ..I detour to find one outside the fellowship + settled for a man who has knowledge of The Word, but yet to receive revelation that Jesus is God... this song has touch my heart and the strength to stop sinning.. 🎯Yes..God is my Greater glory...compare to what I desire💭..a human companionship... 💫God is my King of glory...deserve greater glory...everything else is secondary. 🌹I praise God for touching my heart❤ thru anointed songs🎵 such as this He put in His ppl's hearts... This is one of the songs.. that is making a paradigm shift in my soul..my mind + my heart🌻..which makes me back to desire God more than my earthly desire + to honor ..to be pleasing..to be an aroma pleasing to Him..and to honor Him with my body, temple of the Holy Spirit.. 🙏Please pray for me that I get stronger in God and not a stumbling block to the man I'm with and that he come to the true knowledge of God with revelation in His heart that Jesus is his personal Saviour + God of gods and He IS alive + active, not just a man with good deeds + spirit. God bless everyone who call on the name of the Lord shall not go weary but shall soar on eings like eagle + shall be saved + not put to shame nor disappointed. ❣In Jesus✝️name🌟 Amen🌻.
"To the King in need of nothing, empty-handed I rejoice."
Yessss...amen.

What a line!
I love that line also. Amen.

This is one of my favorite songs from CityAlight. It's on repeat on my phone. God bless your group for his glory.

It seems I've been waking up, singing this song. So good
Anxiously awaiting His final arrival.
"They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?”"
This song pierced through my heart everytime.. Thanks @CityAlight

Though we are no good and rebellious , yet He never give up on us.

I cant tell you how much this song has helped me. It's so beautifully and truthfully written. I pray that God keeps using you guys. Hes so good he makes me rejoice in tears. I played this song on replay today and it really touched my heart and its bringing me to tears because we are just so blessed and when we feel that blessing in us we want to share it with God because hes just soooo good. I cant explain it. I just want to cry of how good he is. Praying for you guys. I'm incredibly thankful.

Each of your songs has rich biblical contents, so faith - building, so tuneful...! You are so richly blessed by our Lord. Thank You Jesus 🙏

Your music draws me closer to God. A great compliment to my daily prayer time with Him. Thank you CityAlight and to God be the Glory. :)
What a great song! Theologically rich lyrics with a very singable melody. Glory to God!
Jesus Christ is a Great and Awesome King who will rule throughout the endless ages of eternity.
What an awesome praise and worship song. For such a time as this. Thanks you Lord for your goodness, grace and mercy. Praise the King of Kings.
Worthy is the Lamb. All our praises are for Him.
It is He that raises up. Always.
Bless His Holy Mighty and everlasting Name!

As far as from Kenya bt U are just unique in the calling ,,more grace to this band Amen
I woke up with this song on my heart...I looked it up and found this version...absolutely beautiful ❤️
Love the song. Glory to Jesus Christ
Trying to get through Covid pneumonia in the hospital. Reminded I not alone with this beautiful music. Thank you.
How are you doing? Prayed for you friend . God bless you ❤️
What a beautiful song! I can feel His presence listening this music. Thank you
This group understands that doctrine matters and that we are to accept the Lord on His terms, unlike what Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation, Maverick City and so many more teach through their music, which is more focused on "I love what you did for me-me-me-me!"
What a music! What a song! Gives me goosebumps as I listened to the song. Praise the Lord Almighty Good & Gracious King!
Flush 2020, May God bless all families with hurt and pain. Here is 2021, Let's move ahead with bringing all believers together, let's GO Jesus!
Love this group and I love the Lord of all Glory!
Heavenly Father, Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven! PTL, our Good and Gracious KING 🙏
powerful song.....i have spiritually touched heaven with this song.God richly bless you, CityAlight
I love this song, it takes me to another realm!!!
Your musics are divinely amazing;I find the music deep and heavenly.....
329 people have yet to encounter a relationship with our good and gracious King!
Cityalight music is strong.., I'm happy to found it, thanks good Heaven..
True worship music
Thank you father for this song, for this new day and for your love, mercy and grace. For forgiveness of my old ways and for bringing me thru the storms of past. I can do nothing without you and I invite you into my heart my home and pray you watch over my family. I love you. You are my rock! ❤
Ron Adams
This is some of the most beautiful lyrics and music to come out of the Christian church in a long time, I am truely blessed by your music. May the Lord continue to bless and give you inspiration to write more of this sound biblical music.
CityAlight is an Anglican Church so they/we have a rich theological history that we should be able to draw from.
Praise the Lord ..!!! Amen 🙏🏻
Wr hv u been hiding these years cityalights.... nw i know which band to follow💙 u guys are doing great job....all ur songs gives us hope and thirst to serve our saviour king JESUS .
Who else is listng to this on 29 nov 2019??
City alight is a blessing to our generation
2021 anyone?
Praise God for His love and mercy endures forever!
Praise the Lord for you exceptional contributions to congregational singing. Written in a suitable key and not a gymnastic exercise in vocals, bringing worship back to the people. Well done! We use you music in our worship small group and it is fabulous for the musically challenged.
Dear brother well said
Very well said! Glory to God
and theologically sound !
Our church rarely has a singable key, usually too high or too low. Nobody seems to be in charge.
@@warrenwilson4818
Speak to your pastor. He/she is the real worship leader, not the lead musician. I am a lead musician at my church (not the worship leader) and the pastor/priest is responsible for worship. Just a suggestion.
Wondering Christian music with so much feelings of faith.
If there's one thing I complained for youtube's recommendation is that why only now? Been searching for a long time already for theologically sound worship songs. Good job guys. Godbless you all.
To the King in need of nothing!!! Hallelujah
Discovered this only last night. ♡ blessed -thank God for the gift of music.
Thank you for this song. God has His ways. Praise God for how this song ministered to me
By His love i am forever accepted!!!
