Tamela Mann, “Take Me to the King”

Tamela Mann, “Take Me to the King”

Immensely talented gospel singer and actress Tamela Mann has returned with a powerful new single titled Take Me to the King. The song features gospel/pop legend Kirk Franklin and Mann’s soaring vocals in an absolutely ecstatic expression of worship at the foot of the throne of the King. This week, Take Me to the King earns Greatest Gainer honors on Billboard’s Gospel Songs chart, rising up 20-18 – and if you know the gospel chart, songs move notoriously show, a two-notch rise is phenomenal on that chart – and earning Ms Mann her latest Top 20 hit.

I first heard Tamela Mann sing SANG I’ll Fly Away on YouTube here, and it was breathtaking! Clearly, Tamela Mann is one of the most legendary voices in gospel music, and Take Me to the King is the latest reminder of what kind of talent God is able to bestow on those who love Him. Wow.

TAKE ME TO THE KING Lyrics
Tamela Mann

Take me to the King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart and soul in pieces
Is my offering
Take me to the King

Truth is I’m tired
Options are few
I’m trying to pray
But where are you?
I’m all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can’t fake
What’s left to do?

Truth is I’m weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch will change my life

Take me to the King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn in pieces
It’s my offering
Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Please take me to the King

Truth is it’s time
To stop playing these games
We need a word
For the people’s pain

So Lord speak right now
Let it fall like rain
We just ran
We’re chasing after You

No rules, no religion
I’ve made my decision
To run to you
The Healer that I need

Take me to the King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn in pieces
It’s my offering
Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Take me to the King

Glory not the way
We keep making mistakes
Glory is not for us
It’s all for You

Take me to the King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn in pieces
It’s my offering
Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Take me to the King

    Totally awesome! The Lord truly used Ms. Mann and this song to minister to me when I wanted to just give up.
