"That's My King!" Whose Blood Was Out Poured As The Covenant LORD So We're Clean And Restored Through Our Christ The Reward Who's Only And Always And Ever Adored!

In a heated rage man's blood was shed

Cain killed his brother Abel dead

In envy-lust the ground soaked red

It cried to God, "you're cursed," God said

Sin causes death, from God we've fled

But there's a promise we have read

The Seed will crush the serpent's head

He suffered on that cross and bled

Then conquered death and left it dead!

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

The life is in the blood, so you shall not eat

The blood of bulls and goats that bleat

Jews could only eat the meat

Or be cut off – their hopes delete

But blood of bulls and goats won't treat

The sickness – sin has brought defeat

We need a greater hope complete

It's in the blood of Christ elite

His life and death – the greatest feat!  

On that cross we did mistreat

The LORD of glory Who they beat

His blood poured out like slaughtered meat

He bore God's wrath in all its heat

Then rose to conquer all defeat

And cause the devil to retreat

Now by His blood we are complete

He gave Himself – His blood so sweet!  

We shout with joy in the street!  

His praise always we'll now repeat!

That's my King!

Jesus' blood of the New Covenant is our propitiation

He took away God's wrath so that we could have salvation

Because He died and rose for our eternal justification

He's the New Covenant LORD Who's our bloody mediation

So now we're forgiven and enjoy God's "Righteous!" declaration

Which we have by faith alone in the Christ our blood relation

Now there's no more fear of wrath – no hell-fire or damnation

Through His blood we have redemption from all sinful desolation

From every nation we're brought near by His blood of consecration

Through His blood we now have peace so there's no more agitation

The precious blood of Christ Who is our Lamb of jubilation

Cleanses us from sin so there's no more indignation

By His blood we're freed from sin to live out holy dedication

By His blood alone there will be no more condemnation

And by His blood alone we'll conquer every manifestation and representation of our enemies' perpetration

For the glory of our King Who's our joy and adoration!

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

Christ Jesus’ Blood Was Full Out Poured

He’s God And Man - Covenant LORD

He Bore God’s Wrath Pierced By His Sword

He Died Alone So Cursed, Abhorred

But Then He Rose - All Life’s Restored

Victory Is Won - He’s Risen, Roared

By Faith Alone We’re Just, The LORD

Our Righteousness Has Pleasures Stored

For Us Forever He’s Adored

For Christ Is All Our Great Reward!

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

A New Hymn: Christ Is All!

I wrote this hymn based on Colossians 3:11, Psalm 73:25-26, 2 Chronicles 20, Psalm 34:10, and Proverbs 18:10. Sing it to the tune for the hymn: Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

Whom have I in heav'n but You LORD
You are everything to me!
You're my King, my LORD, my Savior
From my idols set me free!
Make me hope in You alone LORD
Be the “Christ is all!” to me!
Come and capture my whole being
And Your beauty let me see!

Nothing on earth I desire LORD
Save for You and You alone!
At the cross Your great love out poured
Sent Your Son Who did atone!
Then He rose up with all power
Conquered hell, sin, pain, and death!
Now His name is my strong tower
To Him run and you'll find rest!

I am weak – I have no power
LORD! I don't know what to do!
But my eyes are ever on You
Father come and lead me through!
You're my God Who has all power
There is nothing You can't do!
Come and save now – Spirit lead me
Grant me mercy pure and true!

Those who seek You lack no good thing
For in Christ we have it all!
You're all beauty; You're all glory
You're the God-Man; You're our all!
You alone are satisfaction
You're the pleasure of our life!
Come oh LORD now be our Treasure
Be our Joy and our Delight!

Listen to Sister Heidi Myrick Wanjala sing the hymn here.

"That's My King!" Who's The Greatest Somebody Who Became A Nobody And Rose As The First New Body And Now He Can Save Anybody So We All Must Tell Everybody About This Somebody Of All Somebodies!

I was convicted of my sin last night at a Young Life camp where the question was asked:  "What is the greatest cry that your sinful flesh thinks it needs?"

My answer:  I want to be Somebody, and I want to have and to hold somebody.

So I fight to look to the only all-sufficient, all-satisfying, glorious, most beautiful Somebody once again:

There's nobody like my Somebody!  Not even close!  If you've found somebody that excites you like this Somebody you better run the other direction from that idol body!

He's the Somebody to Whom every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is LORD!
He's the Somebody Who heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, and makes the deaf hear!
He's the Somebody Who makes demons flee, cleanses lepers, and raises the dead!

He's the Somebody Who knows the future, planned the future, and works it all for your good!

He's the Somebody Who alone can save you from all your sins!
He's the Somebody Who alone can deliver you from God's wrath to come!
He's the Somebody Who alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

That's my King!

He's the Somebody Who is your only way back to God!
He's the Somebody Who is the resurrection and the life!
He's the Somebody Who is the God of the impossible!
He's the Somebody Who chose things that are not to bring to nothing things that are so that no human being may boast in the presence of God!

That's my King!  That's my Somebody!

May God grant us grace to trust King Jesus as our Somebody today!

"That's My King!" Whose Body Was Broken Throughout And His Blood Poured Out For Us He Went Without He's The Most Devout Without A Doubt And His Work's What This Supper Is All About!

He's the broken One, but He's also Unbreakable! 

He's the broken One and the Unbroken, Unbreakable One all at the same time!

He was more broke than anyone's ever been broken!

He was broker than the brokest and more broken than anyone's ever been broken in the history of this broken universe!

He's the unbreakable of all unbreakables!

He can't be broken!

He won't be broken!

He broke the grave!  

He broke all evil!  

He broke the devil!  

He broke our sin! 

He broke death!  

He broke all that's broken to heal it all forever!

Not a bone of His body was broken!  

He's Lamb Who was slain and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah all at the same time!

He rose up from the dead!  

He's unbreakable!  

He's unstoppable!  

He's uncontainable!  

He's irresistible!

Herod tried to break Him and kill Him as soon as He was born!  

But He's unbreakable!

The Devil tried to break Him when he tempted Him in the wilderness three times, but He's unbreakable!

The Pharisees and Sadducees and all other kinds of wicked ones you see tried to break Him with their words games and crafty traps, but He always answered them in such a way that left them speechless – He's unbreakable!

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

His body was broken just as He's spoken now the bread is a token of His love that's unbroken!

The most beautiful body; the most extraordinary body; the most valuable body; the most precious body; the most perfect and sinless body; the only satisfying body: 

This body He gave 

And was made deprave 

Though perfect and brave 

He died to save 

And rose from the grave 

To make us His slave 

And Him alone crave!

That's my King!

His body was broken. The most beautiful body; the most extraordinary body; the most valuable body; the most precious body; the most perfect and sinless body; the only satisfying body; the God-Man body: This body was the most broken body that has ever crossed the horizon of this world!

That's my King!

His body was broken. His body was left more broken than broke

They ripped off His cloak 

And left Him naked like a joke

They jeered and they spit, but He never once spoke

May this love our hearts stoke

And compassion evoke 

For the lost and the broke

So good works He'll provoke!

That's my King!

His body was broken. 

His appearance was so disfigured that He didn't look like a man

It's like He was cut up and sliced by a fan

Or had His body through a meat grinder ran

And Muslims want me to believe the Quran? 

No! "Christ is all!" the span

And He's still better than everything since time's began!

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

His body was broken. But He's unbreakable!
He lived a sinless life unshakable!
He rose up from the dead indestructible!
He's unexplainable!
Everything He was and does is treasurable!
He gives life everlasting pleasurable!
He's invulnerable!
He's unmistakable!
He's unchangeable!
He's unbelievable and believable all at the same time!

That's my King!

He's unimpeachable!
He's unbeatable!
He does the impossible!
He's indescribable!
He's irrefutable!
He's unforgettable!
But sometimes He'll leave you uncomfortable!
He's available!
He's infinitely lovable!
He's unavoidable!
He's inescapable!

That's my King! 

Christ Jesus Is Our Sumptuous Feast

Life For His Glory More Increased

To Live For Christ We’ve Been Released

Delight In Him Our Pleasure Feast!

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

"That's My King!" Over All False Teachers!

False teachers abound
They're walking around
May their false teaching fall to the ground
In anger the ground I pound
Like Paul I wish they'd cut off all they propound
Their doctrine's not sound
They're lost and not found
By Satan their minds are bound
But God still pursues like the heavenly hound!
Their false teaching He'll confound
God's Word we must expound
And all their arguments confound
For Jesus is God - most highly renowned!
He's utterly profound!
We preach Him as crowned!
May His praises resound!
As the angels surround!
In God's wrath He was drowned!
Then He rose from the ground!
He's "Christ is all!" - the greatest around!

"That's My King!" Who's The Greatest Man Ever Born Though By Betrayal He Was Worn, Torn, Silent Like A Sheep Shorn, Treated With Scorn, And Pierced With Thorn He Rose To Be Salvation's Horn!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
All would have a Judas heart
All would deny God
All would be lost
All would be in hell
All would perish
All would die, forever
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
There would be no salvation
There would be no amazing grace
There would be no hope
There would be no forgiveness
There would be no joy
There would be no heaven
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
There would be no Bible
There would be no seed of the woman to crush the head of the serpent, Satan
There would be no one who fulfilled all the prophecies about the coming Messiah
There would be no suffering Servant Who was wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities
There would be no fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins!
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
There would be no God-Man
There would be no greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world!
There would be no blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
There would be no Jesus what a friend of sinners!
There would be no incarnate King of kings and Lord of lords; Alpha and Omega; Beginning and End; or First and Last Whose love is vast and can't be past or outclassed because "Christ is all!" and unsurpassed!
Because Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
There would be no hope in your depression or despair
There would be no friend Who will never leave you nor forsake you in your loneliness
There would be no Lover Who satisfies like no other when you have nobody else
There would be no comfort in your sorrow
There would be no firm foundation when all around your soul gives way
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
There would be no Savior
There would be no Immanuel
There would be no Redeemer
There would be no Messiah
There would be no Mediator
There would be no Lion of the Tribe of Judah
There would be no Lord Our Righteousness
There would be no Holy One of God
There would be no Second and Last Adam
There would be no Desire of All the Nations
There would be no Author and the Finisher of Our Faith
There would be no Horn of Salvation
There would be no Image of the Invisible God
There would be no Fullness of the Godhead Bodily
There would be no The Way, the Truth, the Life
There would be no Bread of Life
There would be no Living Water
There would be no Good Shepherd
There would be no Resurrection and the Life
There would be no Rose of Sharon
There would be no Lily of the Valley
There would be no Altogether Lovely One
There would be no Fairest among Ten Thousand
There would be no Bright and Morning Star
There would be no Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world
There would be no Beloved Son in Whom God is well pleased
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!

If Jesus was not born, it would be better if no one was ever born
And there cannot be enough written about what would not be if He were not born
Because the earth cannot contain the books that could be written about Him because He was born
I could have gone on and given you over two hundred names of Jesus that would not be if He wasn't born
Paul wouldn't have had anything to preach about if he wasn't born because Paul knew nothing to preach except Jesus Christ and Him crucified
There would be nothing more for me to ever say from this pulpit again if Jesus was not born
There would no church anywhere, and we wouldn't know what to do!
But Jesus was born; He was betrayed; and He died and rose so that we might live!
