"That's My King!" Who Humbled Himself Small As The Servant Of All And Now Stands Tall As The Greatest Of All!

The disciples had a discussion on the way

The pride of their hearts it did betray

From the greatness of Christ they turned away

And when He asked “What?,” they would not say

For they knew in their hearts they'd gone astray

Pride and envy are man's bad way

On your soul these vipers prey

Vipers within – their venom spray

“Grant death to self!” is what we pray

For our Christ came all pride to slay

Through death He'd take this sin away

And rise in victory the third day

To save our souls from self decay

Enable us to love display

And turn from self – give all away

So trust in Him and then obey

For He was humble – showed the way

And died and rose our pride to slay

So “Christ is all!” we would display!   

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

If you want to be first, you must be last

So embrace with joy the lowest caste

Be servant of all regardless of class

Even to those sad, alone, and harassed

Then in God's sight as the first you'll stand fast

Because our great King took the greatest last

As Suff'ring Servant His love's unsurpassed

God spared Him no wrath, though He cried and asked

Then rose up alive – forgiving your past

Now rest in His love – an ocean vast!

That's my King!

A child is least they did believe

He said a child you must receive

In this a humble heart achieve

To all your pride you die and leave

To “Christ is all!” alone you cleave

For He was least, and He would grieve

Upon that cross God's wrath receive

And die with those who steal and thieve

Then rise your guilt to all relieve

If Him alone you would believe

He's greater than you can conceive!

That's my King! 

Oh what a wonder – the incarnation

Where God made man His habitation

May it lead to worship and prostration

God became man in humble summation

Our Creator took upon Himself creation

To grant His people such a great salvation

As they nailed Him to the cross in utter degradation

He made their blood flow through heart circulation

He's the Servant beyond any explanation

Who humbled Himself beyond expectation

He's worthy of all our praise and adoration

For He rose the from grave – His Kingly coronation!

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

Christ Jesus Trust And Do Receive

Humbly Like A Child Believe

By This, True Greatness You’ll Achieve

Heaven’s Kingdom Joys Retrieve

No More Tears Or Pains You’ll Grieve

For Jesus Died And Rose To Heave 

All Sins Into The Sea He’ll Leave

By Faith Alone All Wrath Relieved

We Love And Serve The Least Conceived 

No Little Children We’ll Deceive

But To Our Christ Like Babies Cleave

Our Whole Lives For Good He’ll Weave

He Grants Us Pleasures None Conceive

He’s God The Son We Praise Believe!

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

"That's My King!" Who Would Be Killed And Rise To Build His Church Fulfilled With People Thrilled!

The Son of Man God would deliver; Our God so loved as gracious Giver; At Christ's death the earth would shiver; His body dead without a quiver; Death's dark veil could be no dimmer; But Christ rose our bright hope's glimmer; New life He gives – a flowing river; All because God did deliver!
Into the hands of wicked men; They killed the Christ – the greatest sin; The worst evil that's ever been; Nothing worse we've done since then; Badder than all on CNN; And at the cross we said “Amen!”  For we killed God – it was our sin; But to our evil God said "When!" And since Christ died to rise again; Therefore this poem I can pen; To praise our God Who saves from sin!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

The Lord of all, vile hands would kill; Yet this fulfilled His Father's will; When on that cross Christ's blood they'd spill; God meant the cross for good to heal; Through what our Lord faced on that hill; So we rejoice for this ill; Since our redemption it did seal; His Spirit life in us did fill; The Son of Man did work until; God's wrath and storm of fury zeal; Was tamed – our Christ cried:  "Peace be still!"
Three days later He would rise; To save from all our sin and lies; And end our hopeless, dreaded cries; To be our everlasting prize; The God Who's infinite in size; He alone Who is all wise; He has supplies that will surprise; He has no limit like the skies; He does His will with no mere tries; The one who trusts Him never dies; Forevermore your joy flies; To reach the height of highest highs!

That's my King!  That's my King!

Christ Is Always First!

Richard Sibbes wrote:

We must know that all things are first in Christ, and then in us. God chose Him first, and then He chose us. God singled Him out to be the Savior, the second Adam, and He calls us in Christ. 

Christ, being our surety, took our sins upon Him. We are justified, because He, by His resurrection, quit Himself from the guilt of our sins, as having paid the debt. 

Christ is the first fruits of them that rise again (1 Cor. 15:20). We rise again because He is risen. Christ first ascended; we ascend in Christ. Christ is first loved; we are loved in the Beloved. 

Christ is first blessed; we are blessed with all spiritual blessings in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:3). So, whatsoever is in us, we have it at the second hand. We have the Spirit in us, but He is first in Christ. 

God hath put the Spirit in Christ, as the spring, as the second Adam, as a public person, that should receive the Spirit for us all. He is first in all things; Christ must have the preeminence. 

He hath the preeminence in all, both before time, in time, and after time, in election, in whatsoever is done here in this world, and in glorification. 

All is first in Christ, and then in us.

"That's My King!" Who's Is The God Who Can; Heal Uncontrollable, Sinful Man; And Forever Crush And Ban; The Devil's Wicked, Godless Plan!

The entire crowd was totally amazed

When on the God-Man their eyes gazed

Where all He went He stirred them crazed

And spoke so some of them were dazed

For He said He’d soon be raised

Then live to be forever praised

So stand in awe and be amazed!

A father distressed cries for his son

Who's been possessed since life's begun

The Devil's made his life undone

To save His life – they have found none

But now they've come unto God's Son

Whose face had shined just like the sun

This Christ can save the worst undone

Devils He came to crush and stun

He died and rose – His work is done

So to this Christ by faith let's run!  

Help my unbelief was his humble cry

Though he believed doubts cloud the eye

He shows us how to pray thereby

And all our doubts and fears defy

Cast down our self-sufficient try

To Christ in weakness we must fly

He'll be our “all in all” supply

In Him your joys shall be so high

By faith the only limit's sky!

The Devil aims your hopes to kill

Destroy you – your life he'd steal

With fire and water – t'was his will

To crush this son with voices shrill

And crash his bones into a hill

But there's a God Who's full of zeal

Who has a plan He will fulfill

And He won't rest at all until

This Devil mad, His Son would kill

On Calvary's hill His blood He'd spill

There forsaken His voice was shrill

God crushed His Son – this was His will

But He's alive! – oh what a thrill!  

So come to Him – your life He'll heal

And in your heart with joy fill!

The greatest of victories only happen through prayer

In this the disciples surely did err

For prayer is faith's highway to take you where

The power of God is always there

For on our God we cast every care

Since He's the One Who counts all our hair

In Jesus' name we end our prayer

For with Him no one can compare

His glory and beauty we must declare!

Jesus Christ is the God Who can

The only Savior of every man

He alone does the impossible plan

So be a follower – not a fan

He's the greatest before time began!

Christ Jesus Cast The Demon Out

And Heals The Sick, He’s God Devout

So Often We Are Weak Through Doubt

Faithless, Twisted, Cry, And Pout

But Christ Is Strong, A Rock Who’s Stout

He Died, The Sun Went Full Blackout

And All God’s Wrath He Did Burn Out

Then Rose Alive, “Death’s Dead!” We Shout

Through Faith Like Mustard Seeds That Sprout

Impossible Deeds We Bring About

According To His Will All-Out

Christ Ends Our Pain And Joy Drought

With Him No Pleasures Go Without

For All Our Enemies He’ll Rout

Christ Is Our Joy, Our All Straight-Out!

That's my King!  That's my King!
