"That's My King!" Whose Heart Is Clean, Makes The Obscene Pristine, And Heals The Defiled Like You've Never Seen!


Things outside you can't defile
Lust won't stop when you walk that aisle
Flee to Christ Who passed the trial
On that cross He was made the vile
Though in His life was found no guile
Against Him God became hostile
He died and rose to reconcile
All who trust and don't revile
Then you'll receive God's loving smile!

What's in your heart is what you really are
Not what you eat like a protein bar
An evil heart your character will mar
Your sin from God has taken you afar
So trust in Christ the bright morning Star
He saves through His lasting cross-borne scar!

That’s my King!

From your hearts come every evil
What you deserve from God is lethal
A finite death is not His equal
You deserve an eternal sequel
But God lay in the manger fetal
The infinite would bear the lethal
On that cross He became the feeble
To quench all charges against you legal
Then raised you up to die to evil!

His purest, clean heart is what you need
Against all defiling evil He'd succeed
So whether you've been smoking weed
Or your heart is full of greed 
Or your whole life's been filled with all manner of every wicked deed
Your sin this Savior won't impede
For He's the evil crushing Seed 
Who came to bleed
So that you would forevermore be freed
If you'll believe His creed 
And to His Word take heed
He'll grant you salvation guaranteed!

That’s my King! Do you know Him?!

Your surroundings don't make you sin
Not skin, gin, your annoying boss Gwyn
Your least favorite kin, or the new baby twin
“Don't push my buttons!” you cry to Glen
But the problem is your buttons within
Only through Jesus can change begin
So bow down to the King Whose mercies win!

Out of His heart flows only good
He always did all the good He should
Though He was often misunderstood
He never spoke the smallest falsehood
Against all sin He triumphantly withstood
He died upon the bloody cross-wood
And rose to do what we never could!

That’s my King!

He saves sinners from every nationality
He saves from all sexual immorality
He saves you in your criminality
No matter what your illegality
He saves from all wicked rationality
No matter what your personality
On that cross He endured brutality 
To become the Gospel's centrality
And saving the worst of sinners is His specialty
He saves you from eternal fatality
He'll change your whole mentality
Make you live under His principality
And grant you the most joyous immortality!

He heals His defiled creation
And grants new hearts through regeneration
That's your only hope for liberation
From fornication and the punishment of endless damnation
With a new heart He lays the foundation
For a life full of praise and adoration
To the God Who alone grants salvation!

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

Christ Cleans From All That Sins Defile
From Our Hearts These Come And Rile
Evil, Murder, Adultery Vile
Theft And Lying, Slander While
Our Sins Like Heaps Of Dung-Waste Pile
Jesus In Sinless, Perfect Style
Obeyed And Conquered Every Trial
Then Suffered Death Who They’d Revile
The God-Man Took God’s Wrath Hostile
Then Rose Alive To Reconcile
Everything No Hint Of Guile
By Faith Alone We Gain God’s Smile
Saves Both Jew And Each Gentile
Who Trusts In Him To Joy Compile
For He’s Our Everything Worthwhile!

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

"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 and as 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 a Savior to change the mood; In this dark world Light did intrude; His whole life all worthiness accrued; And at His death He was stripped and nude and treated as the unwanted lewd; There the war was done – it did conclude; Death's jaws He would finally elude; By all evil He couldn't be subdued; This whole world would be renewed, and you, though in your sin and hatred rude; By mercy He graciously pursued so that you in heaven He might include as you trust in Him when His beauty's viewed!
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 and with Him our greatest allegiance stays; His grace and glory alone amaze!
In every delight you've ever desired, Christ is the joy you truly admired; Every good thing from Him is inspired; For eternally deep joy He is required; With the Father and the Spirit He has conspired to ensure fullness of joy in Him is acquired!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

Be thankful that He saved from Hell; Now with your soul it all is well; In His house forevermore you'll dwell; All your sin He'll finally expel and in righteousness you'll truly excel; So from the mountain top go and yell and everyone His Gospel tell for it's His great love that must compel!
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 and to Him alone they'll always cling; His glories to forever sing!
Be thankful He loves Himself the most; He'll fill you with His Holy Ghost and with His pleasures you'll be engrossed; He's the greatest joy from coast to coast; He's the delight of all of heaven's host; May He forever 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 was 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!
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; We must always 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 to the whole worldwide and to principalities and powers all outside; Her every need He will provide and in glorious bliss she'll forever abide!

That's my King!

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!
He's the God of the living Who raises up from 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 wanted 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 only He can sustain; All praise and honor be to the Lamb Who was slain and with Him someday we'll forever reign; Then all the reasons for all the pain He'll forever make plain as we enjoy pleasures and delights that will never wane!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Perfectly Honored His Father And Mother And Upholds God's Word Unlike Any Other!

He had a fine way to always obey all His Father would say; He'd constantly pray and never stray from the right way; The Father's love He'd display on that cross we survey love's manifold array; He died and then rose on the Lord's Day; All our enemies to slay; Him we could never repay; So don't delay; Only trust and obey, and today He'll take all your sin away so you'll forever be okay!
God's commandments the Pharisees reject; Their prized traditions they erect, but obedience to God's perfect law they wrecked and formed a godless sect; God's Word they should have checked because with Christ they had a huge disconnect; They showed Him no respect; Their hypocrisy He'd detect; He came to correct, but they'd kill Him as a defect; Through this He came to save the wrecked and heal the disconnect; Therefore He didn't stay dead as you expect, but the Father His dead body would resurrect; So trust in Him, and show yourself to be His elect; He'll never neglect those He did select; He'll forever protect, and more and more His glory you'll perfectly reflect!
"Honor your father and mother" is what Moses said; But the Pharisees butchered it until it was blood red, bled, and dead; Their tradition is what they read; Jesus came, and for another way He plead to show them they're misled; He's the "come in the flesh" of what Moses said, and it was He Himself Who had to be butchered blood red, bled, and dead; Then He rose from the dead instead to give life to all who would trust the living Head!
To disobey God's law is to surely die; Without Christ you'll forever fry; Don't rebel and ask Him why; It's because His glory is infinitely high; Don't make an excuse for your lie but to the mercy of Jesus fly, and He'll save you if to Him you'll cry!

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

May we never make God's Word void; The truth shall never be destroyed; God's Word will successfully be deployed, even though some places will be annoyed; With spreading His Word may we often be employed; Repent and believe, and in Him you'll be overjoyed!
Jesus perfectly honored His Father and obeyed His law; He's absolutely sinless without the tiniest flaw; Everyone around Him – this is what they saw; Over and over again He left them standing in awe, sometimes even with a dropped jaw; When on that cross the Father's presence He'd finally withdraw; Jesus perfectly loved and fulfilled all the law!
On that cross as He passed the test; He had a mother-loving quest; To find a home for her to rest; The disciple who leaned back on His breast took Mary in at Christ's request; See, even at His death distressed; God's wrath on Him bore down and pressed; All around He was oppressed; Yet with God's will He remained obsessed, and as a Son He loved her best; Oh with this Son we should be impressed, obsessed, and He Himself should be our quest; So don't be depressed, distressed, stressed, or repressed; But by His beauty be possessed, and He'll make you forever blessed with everlasting rest because He died and rose and passed the test!
He upheld God's Word to the very end; He always obeyed and never sinned; On His Father He did depend; Against God's law He could not offend; This Living Word I do commend; His love and mercy do transcend; Trust in Him – He'll be your greatest friend!

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!

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 transcends!
When I hit the buoy, He was there with me; Each event occurs according to His decree; Our ship was tossed about in the Arabian Sea; But low and behold what did I see; A buoy in the shape of a cross – that bloody tree; May this memory from pride always set me free; May my boast be only 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'll 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!
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 delight eternally soar!
He won the battle against the great snake; Though His heal 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 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!
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 Obama nor Romney 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 in Him alone the One worthy to extol!
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 who builds the wall; 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 the cross your soul to awaken; Follow Him and you'll never be mistaken; His rule and government can never be shaken; 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!
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!
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 fled; He rose from the grave and on death tread and now salvation is widespread!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Cuts Bureaucracy, Humbles Aristocracy, Shatters Hypocrisy, And Rules By Autocracy!


He despises man's ungodly tradition
To God's Word they seek to make an addition
But this is wholly contrary to Christ's mission
And will fuel His holy temper ignition
He has a relentless holy ambition
To save the self-righteous human condition
And bring godless sinners to His full submission
So don't put your hopes in any politician, physician, superstition, or lofty recognition
But trust in Jesus' death and sin remission
By faith alone receive a righteous position
And acquire a growing holy disposition
That declares against all sin outright opposition
Because the beauty of Christ has no competition!

That's my King!

His disciples ate with defiled hands
But it's the heart the eye of the LORD scans
To see if in it righteousness stands
And holiness continues and expands
Just as the LORD promises and demands
God supplies grace to obey what He commands
And He'll make His sons many like the ocean sands!

That's my King! 

Jesus came to set free – to cut down the complex
His burden is easy and shouldn't perplex
Jewish rules were more and less than God expects
Killing heart-worship was one of their effects
But if you see the glory Christ reflects
And the beauty His Person and work projects
You'll beg to be His royal subjects
Delighting in Him as the best of objects!

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

Worship that's vain is completely insane
It's like the unacceptable sacrifice of Cain
That's only profane
So break this evil chain
And turn to the Lamb Who was slain
But now lives with full reign
As the only One Who can end your pain
Worship Him from a pure heart to pleasure regain!

That's my King!

Hypocrisy He came to kill
True humility to instill with unprecedented skill
He did His Father's perfect will
He died upon mount Calvary's hill
And rose up from the dead with zeal
The law and the prophets to fulfill
And open history's every seal
He Himself became our meal
And to His name all people's kneel
Through His blood all nations heal
And He gives an everlasting thrill!

That's my King!

The Pharisees' hands had to be washed clean
Though their hearts were dirtier than a latrine
Outwardly they shine, clear, bright, and pristine
But inside they're dead and rotten gangrene
It's uglier than anything you've ever seen
Unless, of course, the Clean of cleans you've seen
Who makes even the dirtiest latrine clean, bright, and pristine
Brings to life gangrene and clears it from the scene
For sinners He'd intervene
He's the mediator and God's go-between
In order to turn the ugliest into the most beautiful clean!

That's my King!

If your worship is fake
It's for your own sake
God's glory you take
Vile idols you make
You'll burn in the lake
Unless Christ makes you awake
Your sin forsake
Selfishness He'll break
And save you from heartache
In His glory you'll partake
And your life He'll remake
Worship won't be fake
But be done for His own name's sake!

That's my King!

God doesn't want honor merely from your lips
It's your whole life and heart He takes and grips
His delights flow down like the honeycomb drips
So come to Christ by faith and with joy He equips
From His river of pleasures you'll forever take sips
Where His glory will never suffer slips, trips, or eclipse!

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

God's holy commandments you shouldn't leave
But run to the glorious Christ and cleave
He saves if you'll only repent and believe
He died and rose, salvation to achieve
Dead, hell-bound sinners He came to retrieve
By His grace may you have new eyes to perceive
He lives for you now, your fears to relieve
He's the most precious gift you could ever receive
He's greater than all your mind could conceive!

That's my King!

He rules the world with almighty power
He's our refuge and strength, our strong high tower
All of our enemies He'll finally devour
Though His tenderness and beauty bloom like a flower
May we be ready now, He returns any hour
Upon us great blessings He'll eternally shower!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Makes True Worship Real
He Is God’s Word With Passion Zeal
Sinners By Vain Tradition Steal
His Glory, Yet To Him They Kneel
He Wants Our Hearts His Praise To Feel
For He Died And Rose To Seal
Our Salvation And To Heal
Us From Every Sin And Ill
Now By Faith We Do His Will
The Holy Spirit He Does Fill
With Christ Our Everlasting Thrill!

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

"That's My King!" Who's The Healer Of All, Reversed The Fall, And Conquers Every Sickness Big Or Small!

The people recognized Him when He got to the shore; He's the miracle worker they'd come to adore; For signs and wonders they'd beg for more; But His identity as God they seemed to ignore; Yet to be reconciled to God He's the only Door; At that cross His precious life-blood He'd pour; On His bloodied back your sins He bore, and then rose from the dead to win the war; All beauty and good to perfectly restore; And grant us fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore!
Jesus is the the center of attention; He's amazing and extraordinary in every dimension; Though He's eternal God, He made a lowly condescension to save sinners from Hell and every contention; His beauty and love are without comprehension, and after He made His glorious ascension, He calls us to go and His Gospel to mention; In all of our lives it demands utter submission and to every nation further extension for the fame of His name in every dimension!
Jesus is available to all who see their need; He's quick to accomplish every good deed; For every repentant sinner He came to bleed; And in them plant His everlasting seed so that they would believe His creed and follow His lead to be fully freed!
Jesus came showing mercy and love; He's gentle and tender, just like a dove; He's the God Who is love that's come down from above!
When Adam fell into sin the whole world was lost; But at great personal cost Jesus came to reverse the loss and do even more at the cross!

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

There's nothing on earth that Jesus can't heal; No matter what's wrong or how bad you feel, if to Him by faith you make your appeal, He'll always work His perfect will, and give you what's best – that's the ideal; So don't go to Him to make a deal, but pour out your heart and before Him be real, and His perfect plan for your life He'll reveal!
Because of sin we get sick and die, but when it comes to specifics we don't know why; Sometimes if you lie, you may get pinkeye; but others like Job don't sin or defy, yet sickness they get no matter how hard they try; So for righteousness aim high; On your own understanding don't rely; Trust in our God's endless supply of love that never runs dry and into His fatherly arms always fly; For His mercy never cease to cry, and He'll make all things beautiful in the great by and by!
We long for a day of no more sickness, death, and pain; When the curse will be gone and nothing will be vain; To win this new day Jesus came to be slain; He had to suffer and die and be counted profane; Then rise from the grave, paradise to regain; He started everything we'll finally attain, but there's more to come so don't complain; The "already – not yet" theologians try to explain; When Jesus comes back there'll be a whole new domain where a new earth and new bodies this world will contain; Then all sin and death will have no more reign, again the world will be sane, over all the earth God's glory will forever remain because Jesus Christ is worthy to obtain!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who's The I AM HE Who Passed By On The Sea, Makes Fears Flee, And Sets Hearts Free!

He's the sea walker, fear blocker, wind rocker, and disciple shocker!
He went up on the mountain to pray; His Father always showed Him the way so He wouldn't go astray but be faithful in all He'd do and say; His disciples He'd soon dismay as He put on display His beauty and power in  glorious array which reached its climax when on that cross they'd slay, but He'd forever take away all fear and every kind of decay, and all His children with good repay, for He rose up from the grave on the third day!
The wind pushed the disciples back; The sea and sky were black, and they seemed to be off track; strength to move forward they'd lack, but then they saw something that 'bout made them crack – God on the sea right now we'll unpack!
Job said it's God Who treads upon the wave, but that's how we see Jesus behave; Now He Himself is all the rave, for God so loved the world He gave that He might save sinners who misbehave, make them His slave, and grant them Him alone to crave!
They saw Him walking on the sea, showing His identity is key; He is the I AM HE Who alone can set you free from needing any he or she because He Himself your all must be!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

After He satisfied them all with bread and sent the disciples on ahead, upon the waters Jesus tread and filled the disciples all with dread; But then He turned His head and with conviction said “I AM!” And that's what God to Moses said!  So let all your dread be dead and never spread but put your trust in Him instead, for you know He bled and rose from the dead to be the Church's perfect Head!
Many question His passing by; They wonder and ask why; But if you have an Old Testament eye; "This is amazing!" you might reply, for it shows us Jesus is God Most High, since it's God Himself Who passes by and God in the flesh has now drawn nigh, so at these truths don't sigh, but drink deeply from His infinite supply and to Him for mercy cry!
The great I AM gets in the boat; By His Word the world's afloat; To show His identity Mark wrote; He doesn't need your support or vote; To Him alone all allegiance we must devote!
If you trust Him then don't be afraid; He'll be your unshakable aid and life giving shade; Your heart He'll invade just as you prayed; You won't be swayed even at the threat of a blade because to you unspeakable love He's displayed; With His life He paid on that cross we've surveyed in the tomb He was laid, but death He'd evade and with glory is forever arrayed!
So don't harden your heart; You don't have to be smart; Just believe in your heart, and He'll set you apart; No matter what you've done, you'll get a fresh start, and He'll recreate your life like precious fine art!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who's The Prophet, Good Shepherd, And Provider Whose Strong Arms Of Mercy Can't Be Opened Wider!


Jesus had compassion on the crowed
Though they were proud
And without a leader poorly endowed
He taught them truth out loud 
While they sat under the cloud 
Until their stomachs growled 
And with His power to provide He wowed the crowed 
And gave them more food than their appetites allowed
He's God come down, and they should have bowed 
And to Him alone all allegiance avowed!

That's my King!

People came to Him from every place
Though He had no desirable face
He and His disciples couldn't hide from the chase
Or slow down their pace
And they had no personal space
But He kept showing love and grace 
That would eventually spread to every race!

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

He's the Prophet like Moses Who was to come
Though they didn't know where He came from
He was spit upon, killed, and treated like scum
But He rose from the grave, lifting up from the slum
Of all beauty and good He's the infinite sum!

That's my King!
  
He's the Good Shepherd Who had to die
"Is there another way?!" was His holy cry
Forsaken on the cross He asked His Father why
He obeyed the Divine will and did comply
Without a sigh He glorified the Most High
And kept His eye fixed on the joy to come by and by 
To win for us mercies of endless supply 
If on Him alone we'll only rely 
So what's your reply
To His arms may you forever fly!

That's my King!

He's the Bread of Life 
Who died for His wife 
In order to finally end all strife!

That's my King!

He's the Bread that was broken
An incomparable token
God's final Word spoken
From the dead He's awoken
To save His chosen
Restore their emotion
And win their devotion 
As He makes a way open 
To enjoy His bottomless love-mercy ocean!

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

He's the Bread Who came down
To wipe away the Father's frown
He won the crown for His Father's renown
He's the most precious noun 
Of any town around
In His glory and beauty we can drown
When sin increases His grace will abound
He's the Master of the lost and found
He's like the heavenly hound
He'll chase you down
He died but rose up from the ground
So His mercy would surround
His enemies confound,
And His people forever astound
With His glory unspeakably profound!

That's my King! 

All your needs He will provide
Since He died to make you His bride
He'll kill your pride and be your guide
He's forever and always on your side
So put all sin aside and in Him abide
Even though your tempted and tried 
His arms are open wide
So run to Him and in His mercy hide 
And spread His Gospel worldwide 
So you can praise His name in heaven with all nations side by side!

That's my King!

He satisfies the desire of every living thing
Of all pleasure and joy He's the everlasting spring
He can't help but make you sing 
Because of all the delight He'll bring
So turn from every other empty fling
And flee to Him and cling
Because He's the only all satisfying King!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who's The Everlasting Rest Who Past The Test So We Could Be Forever Blessed!

He created the world in the very beginning; His work was good, and He was grinning; But then man rebelled and since then we've all been sinning; So God became man and against all enemies began winning; To clean up the mess until there's perfect rest in the final inning!
He made everything from nothing; Then He rested without rushing; He's the Creator Who's so loving that we long for His second coming!
Jesus worked hard, and calls us to follow; If not, our profession of faith seems quite hollow!
His grace empowers us to work hard which He purchased through His body marred, His hands scarred, and His fellowship with the Father barred on that cross where He was treated with all disregard!
Then up from the grave He arose; With a mighty triumph o'er all His foes; He didn't in the least bit decompose, and all they found was His grave clothes; And now everywhere He goes He shows salvation to all He knows who don't oppose but find in Him everlasting repose!

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

He commanded His disciples to rest awhile after preaching all men must repent and reconcile!
Because He's in control, we can rest and sleep; He keeps us as His precious sheep; Our redemption price wasn't cheap; It caused Him to cry, pray, wail, and weep; But because His sacrifice was eternally deep, we can be sure our lives He'll forever keep!
The first Adam failed the test and was restricted from the Sabbath rest; Sin he failed to detest, the truth He suppressed and was with himself too impressed so that he caused universal distress and unrest; But Jesus came on a dominating conquest; With His Father's will He was obsessed in order to free the oppressed so that we could be blessed by the best from the east to the west!
Israel failed to stay in the promised land; They didn't obey God's every command even though He brought them out of Egypt with a mighty hand; But Jesus, the True Israel, met God's every demand; Him the devil couldn't withstand; He died on the cross just as God planned, and up from the grave He rose to stand so that the children of Abraham would be as numerous as the stars and the sand!
He's the Everlasting Rest worthy to take the scroll; Both the Lion and the Lamb Who fulfilled God's goal; For He was slain on that cross and took control to make all peoples one on the church roll; So find rest in Jesus, and He'll make you whole; turn from your sin and trust Him to save your soul!
He's the only rest that truly gives delight; All others compared are shallow and light and after awhile they all take flight; But the joy He gives satisfies to an infinite height, and He's the only one with an everlasting bite; So be contrite and for this rest fight to enter into His everlasting bright where there's no more tears or night but only holy delight!

That's my King!  That's my King!
