King of Kings is the first single released from the Awake album by Hillsong Worship. The verses have a hymn-like feel to them while the chorus is very melodic and instantly sing-able. The album recording is in the key of D, which is a pretty high key for a female lead. Our resources are in the key of G, which works for a male lead.
