"That's My King!" Who's The Center Of All Thanksgiving As The God Of The Living Through His Merciful Forgiving!


As you enjoy your thanksgiving food
Don't forget the Seed and serpent feud
When Adam fell the war ensued
Because the serpent crass and crude
So bad the lying devil shrewd
God's Word to Eve and Adam skewed
Then in the world all evil brewed
From garden bliss He did exclude
All sinners with their attitude
But God sent Christ to change the mood
In this dark world Light would intrude
His whole life worthiness accrued
And at His death He's stripped and nude
And treated as unwanted lewd
He won the war – it did conclude
Death's jaws He would finally elude
By evil He won't be subdued
This the whole world He renewed
And in your sin and hatred rude
By mercy He in love pursued
So you in heaven He'd include
Through faith in Him His beauty's viewed!

That's my King!

Now He's the center of all your praise
All His good gifts are merely rays
That point us back to the Ancient of Days
He's the Sun that burns our idol haze
And sets our hearts for Him ablaze
He blesses with gifts in manifold ways
But to the Source our eyes must raise
With Him alone allegiance stays
His grace and glory all amaze!

In every delight you've ever desired
Christ is the joy you most truly admired
Every good gift from Him is inspired
For lasting deep joy He's required
With the Father and Spirit He's conspired
To ensure fullness of joy in Him is acquired!

Be thankful that He saved from hell
Now with your soul it all is well
In His house forever you'll dwell
All your sin He'll finally expel
In righteousness you'll truly excel
So from the mountain go and yell
And everyone His Gospel tell
For His great love this will compel!

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

Be thankful He's a sovereign King
Elect He chose under His wing
Totally depraved – a sinful spring
He died for them to make them clean
Irresistibly to God He'll bring
To Him alone they'll always cling
His glories praise – forever sing!

Be thankful He loves Himself the most
He'll fill you with His Holy Ghost
And with His pleasures be engrossed
He's greatest joy from coast to coast
He's the delight of heaven's host
May He be your only boast!

Be thankful Christ is the center from Genesis to Revelation
He's the Word God spoke at the beginning of creation
And this Word became flesh in the glorious incarnation
He's the fourth man in the furnace of the Shadrach conflagration
He's the greater Adam Who overcame the Devil's temptation and passed the earthly probation
He's the greater Moses Who lead His people without hesitation
Into the promised land where there'd be no tribulation
He's the greater David Who represented His congregation
In the great confrontation where He endured condemnation to save them from damnation!

That's my King!

Be thankful for His Gospel every day
We need it for the power in all we do and say
It's not just for the beginning when we start to walk Christ's way
But something to always live out in its manifold array
With our holy lives we must put it on display
It'll keep us from going astray
Help us pray, and we must always seek to give it away!

Be thankful for His lovely Bride
For her alone He bled and died
He always stands right by her side
She displays His beauty worldwide
To principalities outside
Her every need He will provide
In glorious bliss she'll forever abide!

All the thanks you could ever render
Could never repay the Christ our Defender
He came and defeated every contender
He sends to endless hell every offender
And unmasks the heart of every pretender
So bow to Him by faith and surrender
And He'll fill your heart with everlasting splendor!

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

He's the God of the living Who conquered the grave
He puts an end to death's cold wave
Through the cross and resurrection He forgave
All sinners who repent and believe He'll save!

Mercy-Heart is His beautiful name
I'm so glad He took the shame and blame
That I should claim for my every wicked frame
But He became the same and by imputation my sin became
His Father's wrath He'd finally tame
So that “Freedom!” we could forever exclaim
If “Mercy!” too we'd cry and proclaim
May His glory alone be our only aim
All for the sake of the fame of His beautiful name!

He taught me “Christ is all!” through rejection and pain
And to boast only in the cross off the coast of Bahrain
So many earthly treasures I fought to attain
He taught me to live is Christ and to die is gain
May I wholly die now, fall to earth like a grain
Then fruit I'll produce that He can sustain
All praise and honor to the Lamb Who was slain
And with Him someday we'll forever reign
Then every reason for all the pain
In His love He'll forever make plain
As we enjoy His pleasures that will never wane!

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

"That's my King!" Who's The Veteran Of Veterans Who Answered The Call And Became The Universe's All In All!


Veteran: One who has been long exercised in any service or art, particularly in war; one who has grown old in service and has had much experience. (Webster's Dictionary, 1828)

The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation 19:11-16

He's the only One Who perfectly served
God's law He always perfectly observed
And shed His blood for the undeserved!

He has infinite might
Won the greatest fight
Put all enemies to flight
Makes all wrongs right
And gives everlasting delight!

He's God's Ultimate Warrior Who never sins
He finishes everything He begins
His power and strength never thins
Against all enemies He defends
And always wins
With every threat He contends
And to hell He sends
So make amends
And by faith become one of His friends
To you His mercy extends
And then enjoy His beauty that forever transcends!

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

When I hit the buoy, He was there with me
Each event occurs according to His decree
Our ship was tossed about the Arabian Sea
But low and behold what did I see
A cross-shaped buoy – that bloody tree
May this memory from pride always set me free
May my boast be in Him to every degree
May all glory ever be to the great One in Three!

He's an army of One Who can't be beat
He's got more power than every navy fleet
He's better than all special forces elite
If you're on His side, you'll never face defeat
From the battle He'll never retreat
His supplies for the war never deplete
He'll never mistreat
With Him no one can compete
Every mission He'll perfectly complete
And save His people from everlasting heat!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

For a few good men one may dare to die
But in this God shows His love so high
While we were still sinners, Christ died to buy
Salvation for all who would comply
So repent and believe – on Christ rely
He will be your everlasting supply!

He gave His life on the battle field
To all temptations He'd never yield
From the grave He rose and salvation sealed
And became our everlasting Shield
He lived and died and rose and healed
To the world His Father He perfectly revealed
He returns with a sword of judgment to wield
So trust in Him, and you won't be killed
But instead be forever thrilled
And with pleasures unspeakable be filled!

That's my King!

Every decoration He deserves and more
The Medal of Honor and all décor
He's more decorated than the whole Marine Corps
Alone on that cross He won the greatest war
To save our souls and earth restore
Now Him alone we'll forever adore
And find our delights eternally soar!

He won the battle against the great snake
Though His heel was bruised, the devil's head He'd break
The earth did quake
But He rose from the dead to end earth's ache
And finally cast the devil into the eternal, fiery lake
He'll make His dead people awake
And He did it all for His Father's great name's sake!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who's The Only Saving President Who Can Make You A Heavenly Resident And In Perfect Righteousness Represent!



My King was born president in the humble manger
For sin and righteousness He became the great Exchanger
To suffering, pain, and death He was no stranger
But He rose up from the dead to become the only true World Changer
From sin, death, and Hell He'll save you from all danger
And become your whole life's almighty Rearranger!

That's my King!

He was elected by God as Head over His people
He died for His church and it's not a cathedral or wood under a steeple
But a group of people who've miraculously walked through the eye of a needle
And even though they're often feeble
By grace they wait on the LORD and mount up with wings like an eagle!

Neither Clinton, Biden, Trump, nor anyone else can save your soul
Only Jesus is worthy to open the scroll
Men make promises, but they all have a hole
Because there's just so much man can't control
But the omnipotent Christ rules over the whole
And He alone ought to be number one on your poll
You'll find that He alone is worthy to extol!

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

The poor and the rich, unborn babies and women, every race and nation – He loves them all
He loves the politician who serves city hall
And the brick mason too whose work stands tall
He only demands that you heed His call
To repent and believe and before Him fall
Believe the Gospel, and He'll forever enthrall!

He never spends more money than He has because He owns everything
He's not left or right wing, but of the whole universe He's sovereign King
The sun, moon, and stars from His hand He did fling
Trust in the Gospel now and to Him alone cling
He'll make your heart sing
From your lips His praises must ring
And to you fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore He'll bring!

His budget is balanced all the time
He owns the whole world and every dime
He died to save sinners of any crime
And grant them a richness that's truly sublime
He's the executive, legislative, and judicial branch all at the same time!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

He executes every action that needs to be taken
He died on that cross your soul to awaken
Follow Him and you'll never be mistaken
His rule and government can never be shaken
And forevermore shall not be overtaken
If by faith you're His you'll never be forsaken!

He's the law itself Who's come down from above
He's God in the flesh Who's perfect love
He's gentle and tender, just like a dove!

He's also the righteous judge of all the earth
He'll condemn all people who are without new birth
So come and acknowledge His infinite worth
And He'll fill you with everlasting, unquenchable mirth!

That's my King!

He only speaks the truth and never lies
Just like He said He would die and then rise
And win for His people the everlasting prize
Now He never dies
In and of Himself He's infinitely wise
He'll never compromise or demise
And He has all the best allies
He never needs to improvise or revise
Because He has all-knowing, perfect eyes
Trust in Him, and He'll fill you with infinite supplies
He only satisfies and fills your life with delightful surprise!

He only does what's right
His record is out of sight
Against all your enemies He won the fight
He's your indestructible, shining Knight
Who's also the everlasting, unchanging Light
About Him you could infinitely write
He has all power and might
And can save from your hellish plight
So trust in Him on election night
And He'll usher in everlasting joy and delight!

That's my King!

Though Adam was our federal head
He sinned and left us all for dead
Bearing the burden – lifelong dread
Now only Hell awaits ahead
But God has spoken, and He said
"I won't leave my people dead
But elect a new federal Head
Who will obey and love instead!
He'll be the everlasting Bread
And stand in my people's stead
He'll take their place as the True Adam dead!"
And as to death a lamb is lead
Upon that cross He died and bled
But in Him all death died and fled
He rose from the grave and on death tread
And now salvation is widespread!

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

Do you know Him?!

No King But Christ!
