Jesus calls for self denial
More self-esteem is not His style
In your own heart you'll find what's vile
He'll rip it out and make a pile
Against this heap you'll be hostile
You'll come away from self awhile
And “Christ is all!” will be your smile
Since you, to God, He'd reconcile
When on that cross He faced God's trial
And rose all glories to compile
For in His soul was found no guile!
That's my King!
To take up your cross means death to self by execution
That cross was Rome's death tool – a cruel institution
Much worse than our chair of death by sudden electrocution
Or the dreaded guillotine of the French Revolution
Death to sin and self must be our holy resolution
Christ died the greatest death to end sin's dark pollution
On His cross He took God's wrath – our penal substitution
To all sin, death, and pain – He's this world's only solution!
That's my King! Do you know Him?!
Jesus' call is to follow Me
Oh may God grant you eyes to see
The greatness of this One in Three
Who took our sin upon that tree
And then rose up to set us free
He truly is the Me of me's
And all God's wrath He did appease
And now salvation guarantees
To joy and life He holds the keys
So bow to Him on bended knees!
That's my King!
If you lose your life for Jesus' sake
You'll save your life – make no mistake
He's worthy all else to forsake
He'll give you joy no trial can break
Consider your choice and what's at stake
Heaven and Hell – the fiery lake
Believe in Him – His mercy take
And from the dead you'll rise awake!
That's my King!
If you gain all riches and this world whole
There is no profit if you lose your soul
Owning all this world is an empty goal
Since hell's your payment – death's your toll
So come to Christ, He'll make you whole
For He alone can satisfy your soul!
That's my King! I wonder if you know Him today?
Christ Jesus Is Our Greatest Gain
To Come To Him He Has Made Plain
We Must Deny Ourselves So Vain
And Die Like Him, Like Little Grain
Once Planted Dies But Springs With Rain
One Soul’s Worth More Than Worldly Fame
And All You Ever Could Attain
Christ Will Repay And Come And Claim
His Children Who Make Him Their Aim
For He Lay Dead, Was Cursed And Slain
He Bore God’s Wrath And Took Our Shame
Then Rose Alive To Rule And Reign
And Set Our Hearts For Him Aflame
Our Lives, Our Souls He Does Sustain
For Him We’ll Suffer Any Pain
He Gave Us Life, Broke Every Chain
Now When We Die There’s Only Gain!
