What happens when the world just isn’t enough?
In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.
The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
Notice what that verse doesn’t say. It doesn’t say your past disqualifies you. It says you’ve been remade. When you hang on to that thought for a few more moments, you start to ask yourself why you keep carrying shame that’s already been exchanged…
The bridge shows us how we can take that promise a step further: “Bring on my scars, my sins and defeats, cause my scars were placed on the Lamb sent for me.” This has nothing to do with denial. It’s all about transfer. Your failures have already been placed somewhere else, on Someone else, and He didn’t stay dead under their weight.
Take a moment and try this: Name one thing from your past that you’re still hauling around with you. Then hand it over to the King who already carried it to the cross. Worship isn’t a reward that you earn after cleaning yourself up. It’s the response of someone who’s already been made new.
Give the song a listen. May the chorus remind you where you’re headed and Who’s already made you welcome there. “Where You are, it is my home.”

Background:
Christian artists and worship leaders Graham Guy and Ben Jero announce the early radio release of “King, Lamb, Lion.” Stations are invited to begin spinning and testing the song now, with full radio impact set for September 18, 2026.
The idea began in early 2025 while Graham was reading Revelation 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne—declaring God holy and worthy of praise—planted the seed for the song. Graham sent Ben three simple words: “King, Lamb, Lion.” From there, the two wrote across the country through a series of FaceTime calls, Graham in South Carolina and Ben in California.
The song opens with the recognition that the world cannot truly satisfy and turns toward surrender at the feet of Jesus. It then moves into the promise of new life in Christ: the old has gone, the new has come, and the throne of Jesus becomes the believer’s home.
Its chorus looks toward eternity and the hope of joining heaven’s worship. The bridge returns to the cross, where scars, sin, and defeat no longer have the final word because the Lamb gave Himself and rose from death to life. By the ending, the song’s perspective changes from waiting for that day to standing inside it—the hope of heaven becoming present reality.
“King, Lamb, Lion” is ultimately a declaration of who Jesus is: the King who reigns, the Lamb who was sacrificed, and the Lion who has conquered. Graham and Ben share one mission—to proclaim the Gospel through music and point people to Jesus.
Release date: September 18, 2026
