"That's My King!" Who's The Greatest Delight, Possesses All Might, And One Day Soon He'll Make All Things Right!

The Father, Son, and Spirit delight; They're the King of kings outright; Ravishing beauty – out of sight; Enough words of praise you cannot write; More than the sun when shinning bright; They make its flames like darkest night; For They're the everlasting Light! With matchless power as their might; They'll only, always do what's right; For on that cross They won the fight! The Father, sin in flesh did smite; The Son did humbly die contrite; The Spirit raised the Son upright; And now to all They will invite; Into the arms of Christ – take flight; Believe in Him – your hearts ignite; New loves and joys He'll excite; For God will be your greatest delight!
Delight in God through humble prayer; This should be our love affair; On Him our wants and wishes bear; Upon Him we can cast our care; With Him there's none who can compare; And since He will always be there; We should never faint – despair; For in all things He'll never err; His pure goodness we'll declare; And in His joys we'll soon share!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

Mere duty is an obligation; And sometimes an irritation; Done without heart preparation; It alone is the wrong motivation; For Christian sanctification; It will lead to damnation; But we need salvation; So God makes a new creation; And fills our hearts with elation and inspiration; Because Christ is our new preoccupation; He's our Love infatuation; The centerpiece of civilization; God's final declaration; He died in condemnation; Then rose for our justification; Now He's the Treasure of the congregation; Who grants us transformation; And turns our obligation into joyful desperation; For Himself with adoration; Who's our all – the full summation; Of all good for every nation; In Him – the incarnation; Find the greatest culmination; Of your every expectation; May He be your only fascination!
At delight in the Father He truly excelled; Yet the desires of His heart were once withheld; From His Father's presence He was expelled; At the cross on Him the Father's wrath swelled; All because in our sin we had rebelled; "My God!  My God!" Forsaken He yelled; And by this love we are compelled; To delight in Him – our joy's upheld!  Of the excellent ones over all He's excelled!

That's my King!  That's my King!
