The Home Where Elisabeth Howard Elliot Grew Up

I recently learned that Elisabeth Elliot grew up for the second half of her childhood (from 8-9 years old) in a home in Moorestown, New Jersey, about 12 miles from where I live: 3 Maple Avenue. We took a trip out there to see her old home:

"That's My King!" In Matthew 18!


Christ Jesus Trust And Do Receive
Humbly Like A Child Believe
By This, True Greatness You’ll Achieve
Heaven’s Kingdom Joys Retrieve
No More Tears Or Pains You’ll Grieve
For Jesus Died And Rose To Heave 
All Sins Into The Sea He’ll Leave
By Faith Alone All Wrath Relieved
We Love And Serve The Least Conceived 
No Little Children We’ll Deceive
But To Our Christ Like Babies Cleave
Our Whole Lives For Good He’ll Weave
He Grants Us Pleasures None Conceive
He’s God The Son We Praise Believe!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Conquered Every Temptation
He Sovereignly Rules Over All Of Creation
He Hates All Sin – It’s A Vile Degradation
He Calls Us To Fight With Extreme Indignation
So We Won’t Go To Hell Under Fiery Damnation
For Jesus Has Died – Took Our Wrath Separation 
Then Rose Up Alive For Our Justification
By Faith Alone And His Imputation 
We Are Righteous In Him – Our Praise Fascination
Now By His Power We Fight Sin Devastation 
And Love All His People – Our Joyful Obligation
For The God-Man Has Come So There’s No Condemnation
So We Praise And Obey From His Spirit Inspiration!

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

Christ Jesus Loves And Won’t Despise
His Little Ones Whose Angels’ Eyes
Look To His Father, Their Allies
Ministering Spirits Wise
For Jesus Came, He Lived, He Dies
Under God’s Curse He’d Agonize
The God-Man Died A Death King-Size
Then Rose Death’s End To Finalize
And Save His Sheep Who Strayed With Lies
The One Who’s Lost And To Him Cries
He’ll Find And Save And We’ll Baptize
Rejoicing Shall Take Place With Highs
For Our Father Wills To Rise
All His Children Immortalize
None Shall Perish, Evangelize
For Christ’s Our Everlasting Prize!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus’ Love Is Tough And Right
He Disciplines His Church To Fight
Against All Sin And Evil Blight
So She’ll Be Pure In His Clear Sight
He Died For Sinners, Took God’s Fright
And Bore God’s Everlasting Smite
Then Rose Alive, The World’s True Light
He Rules His Church With Gentle Might
Calls Her To Bind And Loose Contrite
We’ll Be Like Him, Pristine And Bright
These Thoughts With Joy Do Excite
For He’s Our All, Our Great Delight!

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

Christ Jesus’ Presence Everywhere
Shows He Is God, None Can Compare
Yet In His Gathered Church With Care
In A Special Way He’s There
Judging, Loving, Always Fair
Granting Authority That’s Rare
Gives Binding, Loosing Power There
To Declare Who’s His For They’re
The Ones He Died And Rose To Spare
From All God’s Wrath And Death And Share
With Them New Life And Pleasures Where
There’s Only Joy, Nothing Can Scare
So Worship! Go To Him In Prayer
To Ask Him All That You Would Dare
According To His Will He’ll Share
With You His Gifts, No Mercy Spare!

That's my King!

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!

Christ Jesus Forgave The Greatest Debt!
