Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah . . . has conquered . . . Revelation 5:5
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . Galatians 6:14
You have been very angry with your Anointed One. Psalm 89:38

"That's My King!" Who Was Stripped Down Naked Bare And Men Would Spit And Mock And Glare For Our Great Shame He'd Take And Wear Then Rise To Righteousness Declare And Give Us Clothes That End Despair With Him There's None Who Can Compare!

Disciples must leave all behind
To follow Christ as He designed
He's the greatest of mankind
To human flesh He's been assigned
He raised the dead and healed the blind
The devil strong man He would bind
But this young man was not inclined
To follow when the path's defined
With suffering and life unkind
He fled from Christ – left all behind
To get away and safety find
But Jesus stood – the soldiers bind
And lead Him off to die maligned
They beat and spit and mock combined
And treat Him like the wheat to grind
But He rose and death confined
Now death is dead to hell consigned
Jesus lives to save mankind
He left our sin and shame behind
So to Him run – salvation find
He is worthy and enshrined
As the greatest heart and mind
Leave all behind in Him you'll find all joy, all peace, all love combined!

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

Nakedness means sin and shame
That, in Adam we became
He ate the fruit and in sin came
The world would never be the same
He fled from God for his own fame
God cut him off with sword aflame
But God would save for His great name
To cover man was His new aim
He gave a hint with skins of game
But man would need a better claim
A God-Man Savior not so tame
He lived and died and overcame
Took upon Him all our blame
His body they'd maim and try to tame
But you can't tame the greatest name
He conquered death to life reclaim
And now we'll never be the same
He covers us and takes our shame
We're clothed in righteous robes acclaim
His righteousness in Him became
Over us God does exclaim:
“My righteous children I will claim!”
We'll give all honor to His name
And when poor sinners come in shame
Deep love for them will be our aim!

That's my King!  That's my King!
