You Are My King (Amazing Love) starts with the lines ‘I’m forgiven because You forsaken, I’m accepted You were condemned.’ It’s a very simple song that is melodic and states a basic confession of faith in the verse with praise and consecration in the chorus, linked together by a simple bridge.
The lyrics:
Verse.
I’m forgiven, because You were forsaken.
I’m accepted: You were condemned.
I’m alive and well,
Your Spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.
Chorus.
Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true;
Now it’s my joy to honour You.
In all I do, I honour You.
Bridge.
You are my King, You are my King,
Jesus, You are my King,
You are my King.

There’s a lot of versions of this by a lot of popular Christian song leaders.
This simple and shorter version is a good representative version.

    Thanks for finding such inspirational songs. More thanks though for leading our singing. God has given you a fantastic voice and the ability to lead us well. It allows us to make our own joyful noise to the Lord. Do not be concerned that yours may be the loudest voice, don’t even/ever be concerned if it is the only voice, you are leading our hearts back to God. Be encouraged. You have a very gracious and tension removing, way of overcoming variations to what may have been planned or what may be a ‘usual’ expectation.
