Kings Kaleidoscope - Defender Lyrics






A torrent of destruction hid
My darkened soul from rescuing
I cried to God for help, He heard my voice
The tainted Earth, it rocked and reeled
The heavens bowed, the mountains kneeled
The thunderous voice of God, my covering

I will not be afraid
For my hope is in His name

Who is a rock but our God?
Who's blood has sealed our freedom?
Jesus, our Savior, Defender, Redeemer

He brought me to a safer place
Equipped my hands and feet with strength
So I advance with confidence in Christ
His precious truth delivers me
From lies that wage a war with me
Your victory is mine for all my days

I will not be afraid
For my hope is in His name

Who is a rock but our God?
Who's blood has sealed our freedom?
Jesus, our Savior, Defender, Redeemer

You kneel down to raise me up
You, my Lord
You, my God
You rescue me with reckless love
Oh, my Lord
Oh, my God

Who is a rock but our God?
Who's blood has sealed our freedom?
Jesus, our Savior, Defender, Redeemer
Jesus, our Savior, Defender, Redeemer

    Kings Kaleidoscope, I live in Seattle and teach at a classical Christian school that has a lot of "MH Refugees" at it. Even though so many of them were deeply hurt by what happened there, they all remember you guys fondly. Because of them, I now have a new favorite band - and y'all are from Seattle!

  14. b.... ....

    I finally got our worship band to do this song last Sunday! ... It was awful. Kings Kaleidoscope we are not.

    I played the drums for my group's live cover of this at the 2017 JEMS concert (it's a small local Seattle Annual Praise night, right where these guys are based). As such, I was the only drummer, and this video shows two. I struggled trying to play drums for two on one kit of drums. It was fun to all heaven, but goodness me I dropped my sticks way too many times going all out.

  28. M.... S....

    Absolutely fantastic!!

  29. T.... L....

    The US flag seen in the opening shot is actually 'supposed' to be hung the other way... Fun fact

  30. D.... T....

    C.... G....

    Lmao they make it sound so intense. I mean they right but it sounds p intense in the one before me.

  42. G.... G....

    This speaks to me on an emotional level and I think it is one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! <3 <3

  43. T.... K....

    THE JAPANESE HAT SAYS キリスト WHICH IS CHRIST IN JAPANESE NICENICE

    T.... K....

    It's pronounced "ku-ree-soo-toe" I feel like it should have カ for "ka" instead of "ku"

    T.... K....

    My bible translation has kirisuto rather than kurisuto :/ haven’t spent much time around Japanese Christians but distinctly remember being told by uni lecturers it’s kirisuto, and when I tried witnessing in Japan I spoke about kirisuto. Is it possibly a regional thing?

    T.... K....

    my bad, it was a typo. corrected now. it really should be kirisuto, regardless of region lol

  44. N.... M....

    Que isso gente .. bom de mais .. impactad

  45. d.... o....

    This is what I call a labor of love. :)

  46. M.... &....

    Hey Chad and gang. We are about to move to Portland from Virginia because Jesus wants us to, and we have started a VLOG to share with everyone our journey. Come check us out because Alyssa and myself love you all. You are the best!

  60. J.... F....

    idk why this is reminding me of snarky puppy :D

    J.... F....

    YES!!!!

    J.... F....

    its the brass

    J.... F....

    i said the exact same thing!

    J.... F....

    And the phenomenal drumming! They also have riffs, so many people, and put so much love into the sound. The difference here is that their passion comes from their love of Jesus. 😊

  61. J.... T....

    More, please.

    Come on

  62. s.... z....

    WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE RADIO?!

  63. E.... A....

    STUPID!!! STUPIDLY AMAZING!!!!

  64. L.... M....

    This song is my new anthem. Anyone know what that nifty little verticals flute thingy is?

    L.... M....

    +Lacey Martin Isn't it just some sort of recorder?

    L.... M....

    +Jordan Calder I don't know. It's about half the size of a recorder & it's metal. I must know. :D

    L.... M....

    +Lacey Martin Replace it with a saxophone. Song just improved by 100%

  65. A.... N....

    I am excited to see true musicians, on fire for God, breaking out of the mainstream mold of American Christian music.

  66. R.... T....

    I"m loving this song but sadly I can't hear the girls' voices.

    R.... T....

    +Rachel Therese yeah it is hard to hear their voices. even when my band played this song live at youthgroup, it was hard for me to hear the female leads when I was playing.

    R.... T....

    @Matthew M hmm i wonder why.

    R.... T....

    drummers will be drummers that's all I can say. lol

    R.... T....

    They are supposed to be background vocals...

    R.... T....

    They are backup vocals but I think they could’ve been mixed better. I didn’t hear them till the end

  67. C.... S....

    I really love how it's a wide variety of instruments not just the basics because it really demonstrates worshipping God with all you've got. Great job

    C.... S....

    read Psalm 150, this band basically lives it.......

  68. D.... H....

    Does anybody know the notes arhat are being hit but the horns, in the turn around I got everything else, but the turn around

  69. F.... E....

    Oh my lord. I love how you guys record the live sessions. Reminds me of Snarky Puppy. And that's saying something. Great work, and I hope you all continue!!

    F.... E....

    +Faith Ever Snarky Puppy is so goooooooooooooooooood

  70. C.... S....

    Anybody here from snowbird? Lol

    C.... S....

    Yeah man!

  71. M.... C....

  72. K.... S....

    M.... G....

  74. P.... D....

    This song lifts me up!

  75. R.... M....

    Incredible. I can't stop listening!

  76. B.... ....

    I've been searching, is there any way I can get the sheet music for the instruments for this?

  77. C.... E....

    What is that on the hi-hat?????

    C.... E....

    @Caleb Estill Goat toe nails

  78. d.... v....

    Estos vídeos se merecen ser traducidos! Increíble 

  79. M.... S....

    That ding dong dude got skiiiiiiiiiiills man!

  80. L.... C....

    I am. All. About. This.

  81. C.... D....

    The drum duo is beautiful along with the lyrics. It's amazing how God uses his people as instruments to bless each other. It all belongs to the glory off God.

  82. Y.... ....

    I wish my school band could play this

  83. J.... ....

    A new era in Christian music is dawning. King's Kaleidoscope are forerunners.

    J.... ....

    wolves at the gate too!

    J.... ....

    Yep, they definitely forerunners for f-bombs in Worship :P haha jk but yes they are great!

    J.... ....

    yeah get with it Bethel and Hillsong haha <3 you're good but c'mon..

    J.... ....

    @Christopher Adam If Wolves at the Gate has any F-bombs in their songs (highly doubtful) please specify.

    J.... ....

    @Trey S They're referring to King's Kaleidoscope - their song "A Prayer" in which he's essentially singing verbatim from his prayer journal. "Will I waste inside the silence? Where the fear is fucking violent". From what I've heard in interview, he thought long and hard about whether to have this explicit version on the album. The song was intended to be from the heart and truthful to his journey with God, so he kept it in. Some Christians were pretty bothered, but swearing isn't even particularly against scripture if you're not cursing at others. They also provided a clean edit of the song for those who didn't want the swearing, so I personally think everything was done to maintain integrity while respective different beliefs within the faith.

  84. B.... M....

    KK has been non-stop at our house lately!  How often can you rock out and weep at the same time?  My 6 year old practices her ukulele diligently with hopes of someday being good enough to play with King's Kaleidoscope.  : )

  85. K.... C....

    Just makes me want to rush into battle wielding a giant axe! Inspirational!

  86. J.... F....

    It would be a bit tough for the church to sing during services, but it would sure be nice to be able to find the music so our worship team could consider it.    :-)

    J.... F....

    We sing it at church just about every other week. And it's amazing!

  87. J.... C....

    Wow!!!! Incredible!!!

  88. R.... ....

    Why did it take me this long to listen to this band... Been hearing about them for about a year

  89. l.... s....

    Questa canzone è fenomenale !
    Bravi !
    Dio vi benedica

  90. C.... A....

    When I hear this song, literally I start jumping;P

  91. E.... R....

    so cute and nice

  92. A.... ....

    Love your large array of instruments, music genre and lyrics. Just a bundle of awesomeness. Love it!! 

  93. D.... C....

    Awesome delivering praise!!!

  94. l.... l....

    Can anyone tell me the tempo of this song?

    l.... l....

    We played this one around 75-76 dotted quarter (which is around 225-227 bpm if felt as 4/4 quarter notes). The newer one on Becoming who we are was recorded at 238 bpm! 

  95. S.... D....

    Where can I download there stuff

  96. J.... M....

    I think it's cool that they have two drummers playing at once, but can some musically educated person tell me why they do that exactly

    J.... M....

    @Andrew Nyte Thanks; who better to explain than one of the drummers himself? Love the band; it's refreshing to hear this music amongst a lot of typical sounding christian stuff.

    J.... M....

    @John Miller Thank you man!

    J.... M....

    Also incredible stage presence! 

    J.... M....

    that and it gives it a drum line effect. First time listener , I was put on "Come Thou Font" you guys killed it! great song!

    J.... M....

    @Clew Rock What's a drum line?
    Yeah, Come Thou Fount rocks man.
