"That's My King!" Who's Rich Beyond Measure But Gave Up His Treasure To Fill Us With Pleasure!


The rich young man falls on his knees
And calls Christ good – now help me please
Eternal life he wants to seize
But his heart feeds a great disease
More than the God Who hears his pleas
He loves his money more than these
This is not good – it's sinful sleaze
All his goodness he thinks he sees
Which from his youth he's done with ease
God's holiness cannot appease
Since it's not good – idol disease
So trust the King o'er all decrees
The wrath of God He did appease
And rose again – He holds the keys
To life forever, and He frees
From all our idol loving sleaze
And heals our deepest heart disease
For He Himself's the prize we seize
He's our treasure beyond degrees
So come to Him Who all foresees
Your heart's great thirsts He will appease!

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

Be sure of this – our God is good
This rich young man misunderstood
And though he's not come from the hood
He'd failed to do the good he should
His god was gold – with wealth he stood
So sin alone is all he could
Jesus loved and understood
Therefore He died upon that wood
And rose alive – on death He stood
He gives new life so that you could
Turn from sin – live as you should
By faith in Christ God makes you good
So treasure Him – the greatest good!

That's my King!

We all are sinners – this is true
Even us out in the pew
Our hearts sweet idols do accrue
Until His sweetest love breaks through
We turn to Christ with hearts anew
And stick to Him like dust on glue
So bid your greatest loves adieu
And take Him for your greatest view
For on that cross He died for you
Richest Young Ruler out they threw
But three days passed – He rose on cue
And all our enemies He slew
The greatest Lover – He will woo
And be to you forever true
He's better than you ever knew
Now your whole life He will renew!

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

Since Christ so loved, the truth He must
Tell this man and not adjust
Point out to him his money lust
All idol loves with care He'll bust
And call on Him the Christ to trust
He died to make poor sinners just
And lives to evermore combust
Our hearts with growing love robust
For this very God we trust
So let's not put our hopes in rust
Humble stay at the cross dust
May Christ alone be our true lust
May all our hopes on Him be thrust
He is our only need and must!

That's my King!

Christ Is The Riches Of All Of Creation
The Rich Young Ruler Of Every Nation
The Good God From Heaven – The Incarnation
Who Obeyed Every Law – God’s Declaration
Yet Died For Our Sins As Propitiation
Then Rose Up Alive For Our Justification
By Faith Alone There’s No Condemnation
His Spirit Has Come For Sanctification
So Money Love’s Gone And We Conquer Temptation
Unlike This Rich Man Who Faced His Damnation
We Freely Give In Praise Celebration
Our Treasure’s In Heaven At The Consummation
King Jesus Our Preoccupation, Infatuation
And Holy Fascination, Who Causes Intoxication
More Than Anything Else In All Of Creation!

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