"That's My King!" Who's The Beloved Stone And Son Whom Wicked Men Would Kill And Shun But Through His Death His Work Is Done – Now He's Alive Second To None!


God planted His vineyard and expected fruit
Israel – His beloved, tender shoot
But sadly her leaders had no root
Glory and money was their pursuit
Their sin and rebellion was acute
They killed the prophets – truth dilute
His vineyard pure they did pollute
And took the wicked, murderous route
So when Christ came, Him they'd refute
And cut Him down – His voice mute
But He's the Christ – He won't be mute!  
He ended death and killed its root!  
For He's Messiah – God's True Shoot!  
The Israelite Who'd bear much fruit!  
To save His bride was His pursuit
And all her wickedness refute
So trust Him now – He will recruit
And put you on a God pursuit!

That's my King!

God's patience runs with sinners long
In spite of all that they've done wrong
He cries: “Please turn and come along!
Follow Me where you belong!
I don't delight in judgment strong!
That's why I sent My Son along!” 
God made Him who knew no wrong
To be the wrong and suffer long
So He could save – make us belong
So trust the Savior Who is strong
His mercy-heart is your new song!

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

If the Christ you do reject
Against God's wrath He won't protect
And only curse you can expect
For Christ alone can wrath deflect
Since on that cross He hung erect
And took God's wrath Himself direct
He alone can saved the wrecked
Since He'd die then resurrect
And all our blessings there collect
Against all foes He will protect
So trust Him now and you're elect
His glory then you will reflect
And from your sins He will perfect
Of joy He'll be your great object!

That's my King!

Christ, above all, is the most precious Stone!
No diamond compares with the glory He's shown
Breathtaking beauty that leaves your mind blown
He's the greatest reality to ever be known
All your enemies He'll master and own
Since He gave His life for your sin to atone
Rejected by men and God all alone
In the dark on that tree He died with a groan
Then conquered the grave – and death's overthrown
He's alive not dead – from the tomb He's flown
Now He rules over all upon His throne
Come to Him now – no longer postpone
Believe in the Savior and bow to this Stone
His Word in your heart will ever be sown
He'll give you a love – a love unknown
Your joys shall rise in Christ alone
And you He'll hold tight and never disown!

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

Christ Jesus Is The Son And Stone
Of The Corner Best That’s Known
Marvelous In Our Eyes Shown
So Beautiful That Minds Are Blown
God’s Done This We Are His Own
By Christ’s Rejection Died Alone
Spit On, Beaten To The Bone
Bore God’s Wrath For Sins Atone
Died And Rose To Victory Own
Now With All Power On His Throne
He Rules O’er All The Cornerstone
Shows Mercy To All Those He’s Known
Who Trust In Him By Faith Alone
But Crushes Sinners, Down They’re Thrown
Who Reject His Rule And Groan
So Trust The Son He Won’t Disown
All Those By Grace To Him Have Flown!

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

"That's My King!" Who Owns All Authority On High, False Teachers' Evil Tongues He'd Tie, Then Speak The Truth And For Us Die!


Authority is the right and power to command
To Whom will you bow and not withstand
Christ the King rules every land
All other powers are sinking sand
His Kingdom's rule will ever expand
So turn from self-rule and what you've planned
Submit to Him and give your hand
To do with joy His command
His death was just – God's right demand
He rose alive in glory grand
And now if you by faith will stand
You'll enter in the promised land! 

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

Who will you, above all, obey?
That's your king no matter what you say
The greatest king that makes us stray
Is our king-self that we must slay
Now put king-self to death and say:
“My Christ is all! - For all He'd pay!” 
He died and rose on the third day!  
To take your wicked sin away
And be the King you will obey
He'll never let you go astray
But gives His mercy full display
In your new life He is the way!

That's my King!

They come to God and want to question
Instead they should bow and make confession
All authority's in His possession
He raised the dead – a bold impression
He said, “I AM!” - His God expression
He forgave sins – that's only God's discretion
He has all power but no oppression
He can save from all aggression
And heal your every paralyzing depression
He'll save from every evil transgression
He ever lives to make intercession
His aim is to be your greatest obsession! 

That's my King!

Jesus responds – I will question you
Like God said to Job, now brace for what's true
Stand back my friends – don't mess with this Jew!
He won't answer the fool like we often do
He reveals their cowardly hearts that He knew
And shows that they must be born anew!

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

God is silent to those full of pride
In humility bow – set self aside
He loves the humble with arms open wide
His mercy is free to all who abide
By faith in Him – in His mercy hide
For God was silent to Christ when He cried:
“My God! My God! You've left My side!” 
Oh the sad silence when Jesus died
But God raised Him up – all mercies supplied
God's silence is broken for all worldwide
So trust in Him now and be His pure bride
He'll save you forever – your needs He'll provide
And fill you with joy that no one can hide!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Reigns, Owning All Authority
In Everything He Bleeds Superiority
Don’t Question Him For He’s Right In The Majority
He’s Everlasting With Utmost Seniority
Yet He Died On That Cross And Was Counted Inferiority
Bearing God’s Wrath In Horrific Deteriority
But Rose Up From The Dead With All Superiority
Saving From Every Nation: The All And The Minority
So Trust In Him As Your First Priority
And Bow Down To His God-Man Authority
Who Is Himself Our Joy Superiority!

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

"That's My King!" Who Took On Flesh That Happy Morn And From His Father's Side Was Torn So We Could One Day Be Reborn!

Our King said: "You must be born again!  If God's Kingdom you'd enter in!"  It's the only way He'll save from sin; He came down our souls to win; So He was born outside the inn; And in a stable trough therein; A humble slave like none has been; He died and rose to save from sin; So you could have new life within; If all on Him your hopes you'll pin; Then turn and deeply hate your sin; You know your new life did begin; He grants you joy and peace within! In Christ the victory we'll win!
Enter once more into the womb?  How can this be – he can't presume; Yet physically he did assume; When Christ spoke of a Spirit bloom; The Holy One comes with a boom; He takes the stony hearts of doom; And grants new hearts – the Spirit's room; For since He died and took our gloom; And rose and reigns o'er all the tomb; We live with Him – our great Bridegroom; Take off your sinful self costume; Be who you are in Christ and bloom; For He's the Lover we consume!

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

Water and Spirit is the key; To make you clean and set you free! In God's great works we often see; These two at work – they do agree; The first creation – God's decree; His Spirit roamed over the sea; In new creation, hearts will be; What God makes new to set you free; And all because our God for thee; Did bleed and die upon that tree!
The Spirit cannot be contained; He's like the wind that can't be chained; His work can't fully be explained; But all whom God has foreordained; Will have new hearts and be constrained; To follow Christ Whose blood has stained; That cross where all for us was gained; Where pains of hell his body strained; As all His blood poured out and drained; Oh! This love can't be explained! Neither can it be contained! By the grave He's not restrained! But lives forevermore unfeigned! To give us all that He's obtained! In Him we are always sustained! For on us mercies He has rained!
After new birth, we will obey; And follow all our Christ did say; We have new hearts that will not stray; For in them God's law is the way; Plus the Spirit will display; His work in us each passing day; So trust the Son Whom God did slay!  He is the truth – the life – the way!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Cried Father Forgive Then Died And Rose So You Could Live And Now Forgiveness Freely Give!


Forgive is what our Master did
His mercy-heart cannot be hid
He cried for mercy – made His bid
While into death's firm grip He slid
And now because of what He did
God's grace from us cannot be hid
He crushed death's grip – of sin we're rid!  
All blessings flow – none He'll forbid!  

That's my King!

Christ had the most against us all
Our sins against Him piled up tall
Between us stood a wrathful wall
Against the God above appall
And ever since Adam's great fall
We've loved our sin that treats God small
We've persecuted Him like Saul
And treated with contempt and gall
The One Who is the all in all!

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

Yet even in our sin so bad
That's made our infinite God mad
All our sins to Christ He'd add
And crush His Son – He's all God had
Now we will be forever glad
With no more sin to make us sad
For with Christ's righteousness we're clad
And God's our loving, patient Dad!

That's my King!

Now trust in Christ and to Him flee
He saves by faith alone – no fee
And this salvation is the key
To grant you a forgiveness spree
Oh there behold Him on that tree
He loved and died to set you free
He cast your sins into the sea! 
And when this lavish grace you see
You'll love, forgive, and peace will be
No grudges hold – just sweet esprit
No matter what's been done to thee
All because the One in Three
Gave up Himself upon that tree!

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

Christ Jesus Forgave The Greatest Debt
Like Trillions Spent With Deep Regret
He Suffered Grief With Blood-Like Sweat
Then Took God’s Fullest Hell-Fire Threat
And Died So We No Longer Fret
Then He Rose So We Shall Get
Eternal Life All Pleasures Met
In Him For He’s Our Joy Beget
So Now When Others Sin And Threat
And Hurt And Owe Us A Great Debt
We Can Forgive And All Forget
Because Of Christ We’re Free And Set
To Love By All The Grace We Get
For Christ Is All Our Advocate
Because He’s Paid Our Every Debt!

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

"That's My King!" Who Perfectly Believed And Holy Righteousness Achieved So Full Forgiveness We've Received!

"Have faith in God" is what He said; Blind unbelief will leave you dead; Just like the fig tree cursed widespread; They saw the life that Christ had lead; He healed the sick and raised the dead; Without much food gave thousands bread; Made lame to walk – picked up his bed; The blind would see – have light instead; And yet they doubted Christ their Head; And even from His side they fled; But He goes forth – stands in their stead; And on that cross His blood He shed; He took God's wrath and for us bled; Now lives forevermore to spread; New life to all who trust  and wed; The Son of God by faith Who said; "Three days will pass but look ahead; I'll rise again and on death tread!"  Then all your fears and doubts He shred; And gives you joy and life instead; So come to Him – don't be misled; By faith He'll raise you from the dead; And be your all in all to spread!

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

Prayer is for battle – the warrior's call; Not for a butler down the hall; To bring you worldly stuff so small; Cry out to God and learn from Paul; Who prayed for Christ's love to enthrall; And mercies down from heaven fall; So wicked sinners bad like Saul; Could turn from sin and on Christ call; Then He would be their all in all!
Saving faith is where true life starts; And false religion all departs; There's true worship from our hearts; A gift from God that He imparts!
Believing prayer begs for God's will; We follow Jesus in His zeal; "Thy will be done!" His murder seal; And though the Devil bruised His heel; He crushed the serpent's head for real; Then rise He did to make death squeal; The nations He from sin would heal; Remember Paul – His thrice appeal; "Take this thorn – the pain I feel!" But "No" Christ said – "this is ideal; For in your weakness I'll be steel; My grace enough in your ordeal!" So trust the Lord and taste His meal; May joy in Christ you all fulfill!

That's my King!  That's my King!
