[Intro]
(Deep drums pulse, thunder rolls, low male choir humming like a storm building)
Lead (spoken baritone):
“I saw Heaven opened… and behold, a white horse.”
(Snare roll—horns rise, choir breathes “Holy…”)
[Verse 1]
Steel in the clouds, His eyes flame bright,
He rides the dawn, He owns the night.
Upon His thigh is written “King of Kings,”
The heavens shake when the trumpet sings.
The blood of saints cries out below,
But justice rides where the Spirit blows.
No sword of man, no earthly crown,
Can stop the Lamb now coming down.
[Pre-Chorus]
🎶 El Shaddai, Lord of Hosts, my shield and flame,
Yahweh Sabaoth, exalt Your name!
The nations tremble, the skies unfold,
The Word made flesh breaks every hold!
[Chorus 1]
🎶 The Rider of Heaven, faithful and true,
With fire in His eyes, He’s breaking through!
Armies of angels march in His light,
The Lion of Judah comes to fight!
Every knee bows, every chain is torn,
By the blood of the Lamb, we are reborn!
(Brass fanfare—drums march like thunder)
[Verse 2]
The trumpet sounds, the veil is torn,
The battle cry of the risen Lord.
From Eden’s loss to Calvary’s hill,
He wrote His love, His sovereign will.
Now saints arise with armor bright,
Their praise becomes the sword of light.
The grave once spoke, but silence came,
When Jesus whispered every name.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
🎶 Jehovah Nissi, my banner high,
Your Kingdom reigns, it will not die!
Elohim fights on every side,
The Son of God, glorified!
[Chorus 2]
🎶 The Rider of Heaven, faithful and true,
With fire in His eyes, He’s breaking through!
Armies of angels march in His light,
The Lion of Judah comes to fight!
Every throne falls, every fear is scorned,
By the Word of God, our souls reborn!
[Bridge – Deep Voice Lead / Choir Call & Response]
(Music drops to drums + bass heartbeat)
Lead (deep, commanding):
Who is this King, His garments red?
Choir: The Lord Almighty, who conquered death!
Lead:
Who treads the winepress, fierce and pure?
Choir: The blood of the Lamb makes victory sure!
(Band surges; electric guitar + brass lift)
Lead:
He rides for justice, He rides for grace,
Choir: We lift our hands, we see His face!
Lead:
The sword proceeds from His holy word—
Choir: The battle is won, our King adored!
[Final Chorus – Key Change + Full Choir Explosion]
🎶 The Rider of Heaven, faithful and true!
Every promise He spoke comes shining through!
Armies of angels fill the skies,
Glory and power never die!
From age to age His reign endures,
Holy, holy, forever sure!
🎶 The Rider of Heaven—Jesus is Lord!
[Outro]
(Music fades to low organ and choir hum)
Lead (spoken baritone):
“King of Kings… Lord of Lords… forever.”
(Final timpani hit—silence)
