King of Glory

👑 I DON’T NEED THE GLORY — I NEED THE KING OF GLORY
(DUET VERSION — MALE + FEMALE)
Flowing melody, soft piano, rising into declaration. A humble cry from the altar.

🎵 [VERSE 1 – MALE]
I’ve stood beneath the spotlights’ flame
But none of them could know my name
I sang the songs, but missed the sound
Of heaven’s voice that shakes the ground
🎵 [VERSE 2 – FEMALE]
I laid down dreams upon the stage
But found no peace with crowds or praise
I turned around, and there You were —
The King of Glory, drawing near

🎵 [CHORUS – TOGETHER]
I didn’t need the glory — I needed the King of Glory
Not the lights, not the praise, not the roar of men before me
I bow down low, and lift Him high
Only Jesus gets the crown
Let the fame fade out behind me
I want His presence all around

🎵 [VERSE 3 – MALE]
You wore no robe of earthly gold
Yet all the heavens did behold
You washed the feet of sinful men
And taught us how to live again
🎵 [VERSE 4 – FEMALE]
So take my titles, take my name
I’ll trade them all for Heaven’s flame
If I must lose to find Your face
Then let me vanish in Your grace

🎵 [BRIDGE – ALTERNATING]
(FEMALE) I don't want the crowd to cheer
(MALE) I just want to feel You near
(FEMALE) I don't need applause or fame
(MALE) I only want to lift Your name
(TOGETHER) Let me decrease, so You increase
Let every throne be Yours in me

🎵 [FINAL CHORUS – TOGETHER / LIFTED]
I didn’t need the glory — I needed the King of Glory
Let the fire fall down on empty altars unholy
I bow down low, and lift Him high
Only Jesus gets the crown
I cast it down at nail-scarred feet
Where the King of Kings is found…
