This song isn’t the first one I’ve ever written – and honestly, it wasn’t meant to be the first one I release either. But sometimes life writes its own story. It all started when I suddenly felt a strong desire to give my sister something truly special for her birthday: not a material gift, but something of real value, filled with truth and heart.
That’s how “Jesus Gentle King” came to be – a song about a deeply personal love relationship with Jesus. It speaks of how we are loved by Him without limits, no matter our past, our weaknesses, or our failures. Our identity is no longer defined by guilt or doubt, but by God’s affirmation. In His eyes, we are a unique masterpiece. And because Jesus paid it all on the cross, our past no longer has power over us.
The song also speaks of closeness and security: Jesus is always there, He listens, He helps, and He holds us steady. “Jesus Gentle King” is more than just a song to me – it’s an expression of my love and devotion to Him.
Part of this song also tells my own story. For most of my life, I didn’t know how deeply I was loved or how wonderfully my Creator made me. Instead, I spent far too many years trapped in self-rejection and self-hatred. I believed so many lies – but not anymore. Now I know the truth. It’s so much more beautiful, deeper, and more alive than I ever imagined. It refreshes my heart every single day, and sometimes I wish I had trusted it much sooner.
My hope is that this song is not only a blessing for my sister, but that it also reaches many others who may be facing similar struggles – and that through it, they discover a spark of hope, healing, and love. Maybe it will remind you of how valuable and unique you are in God’s eyes. And maybe it will draw you a little closer to the heart of Jesus, who is always near and will never let you go. For He truly is the Gentle King – unmatched and unrivaled.

Jesus, Your heart beats for me
You never let go of me
Every day You delight in me
And You love me unconditionally
