Within the album's opening track "Every Hour", the Sunday Service Choir implores people to "sing until the power of the Lord comes down." "Selah", the first full track on Jesus Is King, sees West assert his faith. It includes West comparing himself to Noah before the flood. The track also includes a reference to West replacing Yandhi with Jesus Is King due to him having vowed to only put out Christian hip hop after going through a new birth experience. West references his problematic relationship with both Christianity and his father Ray West on "Follow God". In "Closed on Sunday", West emphasizes the traditional Christian doctrine of Sunday Sabbatarianism, referencing the fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, which he praises for being closed on the Lord's Day in order to allow people to rest. West links the observance of the Christian Sabbath with the "end of imprisonment, slavery, and debt peonage."
