HAHA, right?
I feel like there should be a voice over saying “Coming up next…It’s Your The God Of This City at 8, followed by You’re The King Of These People at 9, and finally You’re The Lord Of This Nation at 10. And then stay tuned for the network premiere of You’re The Light In This Darkness after the 11 o’clock news!”
There’s a really cool story behind this song. It was originally “written” by an Irish worship band called Bluetree before Chris Tomlin made it famous. They were in the red light district of Thailand and got invited to play at this brothel/bar. And without any prior preparation, this song just came out of them. They never practiced it together, but God gave them the beat and the chords and the words. Here are some links to the story:
