There’s something utterly electric when a song carries the weight of expectation and hope—especially when it’s sung with the kind of passion and power that Phil Wickham delivers in ‘The King is in the Room’ in this powerful lyric video. And if you haven’t heard it yet get ready to be moved. The lyrics aren’t just words; they’re an invitation and a resounding truth that echoes in the heart.

From the very first line, “Come open the doors and make way, the King is in the room,” you know this song isn’t just a catchy tune—it’s a call to your heart. It’s the reminder we all need that when Jesus walks into the room, everything changes. Strongholds crumble. Hearts are healed. There’s freedom in His presence, and you can’t help but stand in awe of the power He brings.

Phil’s music has always been capable of reaching deep into the soul, but ‘The King is in the Room’ has gone above and beyond. With over 65,000 views and hundreds of comments flooding in, it’s clear that this song is resonating with people in a way that only Jesus can. 

One comment in particular hit me: “Phil Wickham, thank you for sharing Jesus with me. I’m a widow with six kids, and my 14 and 16-year-olds are in residential facilities at this moment. Your music helps me keep going, fighting on my knees, believing for their deliverance and for a miraculous restoration for my family.” 

How beautiful and raw is that? In the middle of the pain, Phil’s music helps her hold onto hope and trust in the miracle-working God we know.

And the chorus. Oh, the chorus: “There’s freedom and life anywhere You reign.” That’s a truth we can cling to no matter what’s going on around us. When He reigns, there is no room for fear, no space for shame or defeat. His presence moves through every situation, breaking chains, tearing down walls, and calling dead things to life. 

“Fear has to flee
 Shame has to leave
 Chains have to break,
 And bones have to be dry awake” 

These aren’t just words—these are promises from a God who can do the impossible. When the King is in the room, nothing stays the same. We’re changed. We’re healed. We’re made whole.

If you haven’t heard this song yet, do yourself a favor and listen. ‘Let The King is in the Room’ be your anthem, your prayer, your reminder that when Jesus steps in, everything shifts. And when you sing those words—“Every mountain has to move, prepare the way, the King is in the room”—know that He’s doing something mighty. He’s moving. He’s healing. He’s restoring. And the King is definitely in the room.
