It was hard to sing because the words were hard to believe. The song was King of My Heart by Bethel Music. It starts out easy enough. Let the King of my heartBe the mountain where I runThe fountain I drink fromOh, He is my songLet the King of my heartBe the shadow where I hideThe ransom for my lifeOh, He is my song Then the chorus comes in with the repeated declaration that God is good.
