Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah . . . has conquered . . . Revelation 5:5
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . Galatians 6:14
You have been very angry with your Anointed One. Psalm 89:38
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2

"That's My King!" Whose Name Demands Fame Which We Must Die To Proclaim!


He so lived and so spoke that His name became known
Since then His fame has continually grown 
For He must be honored just as His Father on the throne
He humbled Himself to the point of death all alone
He absorbed God's wrath for sin to atone
Yet He's alive forevermore, from the grave He's flown
All over the world His Gospel will be sown
Calling sinners to Himself and making them His very own!

That's my King!

He's the God-man with incomparable fame
He came to heal the lame and all those afflicted with shame
He's the Lion of God Who's good but not tame
His followers must aim to proclaim
The wonderful excellencies of His great, matchless name!

That's my King! Do you know Him?!

Holiness and righteousness are His demand
Life with Him is not bland but abundantly grand
His love and beauty you can't withstand
Your life couldn't be better planned
So reach out by faith and take His hand
Fight for holiness and take your stand
Striving to obey His every command
So that one day you'll enter the promised land!

That's my King!

About Him we must speak
He's utterly unique
Don't worry about your technique 
Or your voice mild and weak
But only seek with a heart that's meek
To tell of a future so bleak 
Without the glorious salvation He purchased during holy week!

That's my King!

When Jesus calls you, He calls you to death
But in the process He'll take away your breath
And ultimately give you a high better than meth!

Some like John will die as a martyr
Life on earth couldn't be harder . . . 

But God's truth over life they do prefer
Threats of suffering and death will not deter
For Christ's love in their hearts will captivate and stir
A great reward God will eternally confer!

That's my King! I wonder if you know Him today?!

Others will die smaller deaths day by day
Death to self and to all the “good things” He seems to delay
The idols of the heart we're called to slay
Christ must be first, it's the only way
So your number one lover don't betray
But cry “Christ is all!” and His worth display!

That's my King!

Don't sigh and ask Him why
Just plead and cry for Him to help you die
And fix your eye on His everlasting supply
Full of love, joy, and mercy that'll never run dry
Him you'll never deny, but to His everlasting arms you'll fly 
And with His infinite beauty He'll forever satisfy!

That's my King!

What you so long for is only a whore
It's stealing your love and only wants more
It you must abhor and deplore
Against it make war I implore 
So that you might be set free to soar
Up from the floor and fly to explore 
The King's great beauty galore 
Where there's fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore!

That's my King!

Your Life For Christ Might Leave You Dead
Because Of All He Did And Said
John The Baptist Came And Pled
Behold! The Lamb Of God You’ll Wed
He Takes Away Our Sin We’ve Read
The Bridegroom Saves From Hell And Dread
John Died For Christ And Lost His Head
For Christ Is Worth This Grim Bloodshed
Now He’s The Famous One Widespread
Who Took God’s Wrath And Died And Bled
Then Rose Alive To Death Behead
By Faith Alone He Saves The Dead
To Greatest Victory Jesus Led
In Him The Dead Will Live Instead
To Praise Our King His Fame We Spread!

That's my King! That's my King!
