"That's My King!" Who Heals The Begging, Burdened Blind And Shows Them Tender Mercy Kind If They Will Truly Trust And Find All Joys And Hopes In Him Combined!


Poor blind beggars are by the road
From anguish their hearts might explode
They could not bear their heavy load
And hoped for mercy – their cries showed
The Savior stopped and looked and slowed
For from His heart compassion flowed
And on these men His grace bestowed
For Christ Himself was on the road
To bleed and die for what we owed
And wash away our sinful load
He rose alive – the grave explode
And in His life grace overflowed!

That's my King!

They cried for mercy loud and clear
“Thou Son of David turn Your ear!”
“Our cries for mercy won't You hear!”
Some followers rebuke and sneer
They will not let them come – draw near
But they won't be held back by fear
For all the louder they will cheer
And cry for Jesus to appear
From their ambition they won't veer
And finally Jesus does come near
And grants them sight – makes light appear
Oh what a Son of David's here!
He stands alone and without peer
He is the God-man we revere
Who died the worst death – so severe
And conquered death as great Premier
His love is deep and true sincere
Only in Him does life cohere
By faith in Him you must draw near
He'll grant you joy and wipe your tear!

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

Their mercy-cries made Christ stand still
To help these men was His good will
To save the poor He has a zeal
He'll cure all those He finds are ill
The sick and blind He came to heal
To do all this He climbed that hill
Where for His sheep His blood He'd spill
When on that cross they'd strip and kill
The only One Who did God's will
This sight should grip your heart and chill
The loving Son of God they'd kill?!  
But without this we'd still be ill
And since our Christ did all God's will
Then rose up from the tomb with zeal
All God desires He did fulfill
So we can be with Him and heal
In Him we'll have eternal thrill!

That's my King!

We once were blind, but now we see
It's Christ Who saved a wretch like me
Our sin does blind to great degree
Christ had to die to set us free
Amazing that the One In Three
Would come to earth – a man He'd be
And die upon that gruesome tree
His resurrection is the key
To carry out God's full decree
Confess your sins – with Him agree
Into Christ's arms by faith you'll flee
He'll cast your sins into the sea
And then to others make this plea!

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

Christ Jesus Is The God Who’d Heal
The Mercy-Heart Who’d Pity Feel
And Make The Blind To See Reveal
That He’s Messiah Come With Zeal
The Son Of David, King For Real
Who’d Take Our Hell, God’s Wrath Ordeal
He’d Die And Rise Redemption Seal
And Crush That Serpent With His Heel
By Faith Alone We’re Just And Kneel
Down Low To Christ Our LORD Ideal
He Changed Our Hearts, So Now We Feel
Compassion, Love, And Godly Zeal
For Others And For Christ Who’s Real
For He’s Our All, Our Strength, Our Zeal!

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

"That's My King!" Who Became The Slave Of All And Ransomed His People From The Fall By Giving The Greatest Gift Of All!


James and John want a real high seat
To them the glory's really sweet
Their faith is mixed with pride – conceit
Yet Jesus loves His erring sheep
He'll redirect their prideful bleat
He died to make them whole – complete
He'd bow down and wash their feet
He gave His life – the life elite
And like a slave His back was beat
The Father's wrath He'd head-on meet
When on that cross His blood secrete
And all His people's sins delete
He rose up from the dead complete
The devil, hell, and sin defeat
And at His table we will eat
Who trust in Him – hate sin, deceit
In Christ we never shall retreat
But die to self and serve discreet
To serve like Him we will repeat
He changes hearts that do compete
It's others needs we'll seek to meet
All because He took the heat
And made our lives with Him so sweet!

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

The bitter cup our Savior drank
He paid the ransom with no bank
All evil's hopes and dreams He sank
For He's our Rock – our battle tank
All enemies He will outflank
Above all powers He holds rank
And Him forever we will thank!

That's my King!

Our Christ became the greatest slave
He served the lowest, sinful knave
And gave His life for those depraved
So all His people He could save
His precious life for us He gave
And faced the Father's wrath so brave
He died – they placed Him in a cave
But then He rose up from the grave
So all your sins our God could waive
The path to righteousness He'd pave
And change the way that you behave
Upon His palms your names engrave
And now by faith you'll be His slave
And Him above all things you'll crave!

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

Christ Jesus Was The Greatest Slave
He Came To Serve And Love And Save
Though In Perfection He’d Behave
He Drank God’s Wrath Tsunami Wave
He Died But Then Rose From That Grave
By Faith Alone All Sin He’d Waive
God, With Christ’s Righteousness, Did Pave
On His Palms He Did Engrave
Us, His Loved Ones, Christ He Gave
And Christ Is All, Our Love, Our Crave
So Now We’re Others’ Humble Slave
And Love And Serve Like Christ The Brave
Our Ransom, Joy, Who Came To Save!

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

"That's My King!" Who Was Accused, Used, Bruised, And Spitefully Abused Then Rose Enthused So The Sting Of Death Would Be Defused And We Would Never Be Refused!


It's perfect Love Who leads the way
Toward death and pain and friend's betray
The Father's wrath His life would slay
But Love goes forth – He will not sway
Like a rock on strong display
His love for you won't turn away
To pay sin's debt the price He'll pay
And rise again without decay
So you can then forever say
“My Christ is all! Him I'll obey!  
His wondrous cross will be my stay!  
A love past knowing I'll survey!”  
All because He led the way
Then died and rose that great third day!

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

In Christ you do not have to fear
In all your trials He will be near
Even if you face the spear
Or lose that one you held most dear
He'll be with you to dry the tear
For He will always love sincere
And He's the One Who is most dear
So rise and praise and sing and cheer
For Him Who died your sins to clear
He took upon Himself the sneer
And had His side pierced with a spear
They spit on Him and beat severe
But He would live – come from the rear
Up from the grave He did appear
He reigns o'er all in every sphere!

That's my King!

He knows all things before they are
He knew from justice they'd stray far
He knew His body they would jar
And on His back they'd whip and mar
The crown of thorns His head would scar
They raised Him up on a crossbar
He died and rose – the morning Star
And lives forever with the scar
To love and change the way you are!

That's my King!

Jesus was made sin in our place
Our wickedness and sin so base
He did, in love, it all embrace
And in return He gives us grace
For all our sins He did erase
And take upon His life disgrace
So we could be a holy race
And after God we wholly chase
We long to see His holy face
Who died and rose to give us grace!

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

When He died upon that tree
The greatest love of all we see
It passes knowledge – vast and free
It's deeper than the deepest sea
And from its grip you cannot flee
For holy living, it's the key
So come to God – the One in Three
Turn from your sin – this is His plea
And trust the Son Who died for thee
Into His loving arms you'll flee
And there forever happy be!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Took All Condemnation
He’s Hope, He’s Joy: The Incarnation
Went Up To Jerusalem On Station
The Heart Of The Earth And All Creation
To Ransom A People From Every Nation
Delivered By Men Who Deserve Damnation
Delivered By God Our Propitiation
Mocked And Flogged In Humiliation 
Crucified And Died To Bring Salvation
Then Rose Up Alive For Our Justification
This Is The Center, Our Preoccupation 
The First Of Importance, Our Firm Foundation
The Deepest Cause Of All Celebration
The End Of Our Joy Quest Consummation
For Christ Is All Our Exhilaration!

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

"That's My King!" Who Died And Gave Up Everything In Order To Salvation Bring So We Might Now Forever Sing!


“To follow You, we've left it all!” 
This Peter said while standing tall
There'd come a time when he would fall
Deny his Lord and shrink so small
But this our Lord did not appall
To save our souls He left it all
Though He's the biggest, He came small
And hid His glory for the gall
Upon that cross, which was His call
God's wrath on Him would soon befall
He rose alive to reinstall
What's right and good to never fall
For He forever will enthrall
Since He's the Christ Who's all in all!

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

Whatever you lose, Christ can repay
From His own fullness – He's the way
To joy and pleasure – bow and pray
For Him to be your heart's deep “Yea!”  
Then when all things He takes away
You can with humble joy say: 
“No sacrifice I've made this day!  
For Christ is all to me – my stay!” 
He'll keep you stable in the fray
All earthly treasures He'll outweigh
O'er all your heart He will have sway
You'll long to follow and obey
Even the hardest things He'll say
Since He died to love display
And rose alive on that third day
He molds your heart like humble clay
So be a child and trust His way!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Gave Up Everything
Left Glorious Throne To Heaven Bring
To Sinners Who Have Felt Death’s Sting
He Died And Rose Our Reigning King
By Faith Alone We To Him Cling
Who Saves From Every Sinful Fling
He Conquered Death, There’s No More Sting
And Now When We Leave Everything
He Gives Far More And Makes Us Sing
With Him Life Has Eternal Zing
From Philly To Those In Beijing
His Praises Will Forever Ring
For He’s Our All, Our Everything
So Everything To Him We Bring
Our Satisfying Treasure King
From Where All Pleasures Flow And Spring!

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

MAY THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN RECEIVE THE REWARD OF HIS SUFFERING!

"Two young Moravians heard of an island in the West Indies where an atheist British owner had 2,000 to 3,000 slaves. And the owner had said, "No preacher, no clergyman, will ever stay on this island. If he's ship wrecked we'll keep him in a separate house until he has to leave, but he's never going to talk to any of us about God. I'm through with all that nonsense."

So there were 3,000 slaves from the jungles of Africa brought to an island in the Atlantic, there to live and die without hearing of Christ.

Two young Moravians heard about it. They sold themselves into slavery to the British planter and used the money they received from their sale to pay their passage out to his island for he wouldn’t even transport them.

As the ship left its pier in the river at Hamburg and was going out into the North Sea carried with the tide, the Moravians had come from Herrenhut to see these two lads, in their early twenties, off - never to return again - for this wasn’t a four year term, they sold themselves into a lifetime slavery.

The families were there weeping, for they knew they would never see them again. And they wondered why they were going and questioned the wisdom of it. As the gap widened and the housings had been cast off and were being curled up there on the pier, and the young boys saw the widening gap, one lad with his arm linked through the arm of his fellow raised his hand and shouted across the gap the last words that were heard from them - he cried out:

"MAY THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN RECEIVE THE REWARD OF HIS SUFFERING!""

"That's My King!" Who Does The Impossibly Hard Through His Body Scarred So From His Presence We Won't Be Barred!


It's hard for the rich to enter in
Love of money is gripping sin
This lust for wealth comes from within
May God show those like Benny Hinn
Who teach that money's how you win
That on God's Word they've put a spin
And though they teach this with a grin
They're leading millions into sin
With Christ alone we must begin
He's the poorest Who's ever been
No place for Him was in the inn
No home to live or rest therein
And on that cross they pierced His skin
He took the wrath of God for sin
And rose again so we can win
And follow Him Who's always been
By faith in Him we enter in
And though our paycheck may be thin
It's “Christ is all!” that makes us grin!

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

A camel can't fit in the eye
Of the needle if you try
It's impossible – that's why
To man this saying does apply
You can't be saved – on man rely
But God can do all things – no lie
And to all works that He would try
Impossible does not apply
For on that cross Jesus did die
And rose alive now seated high
To all impossible defy
In Him to all sin say goodbye
Behind His back all sins will fly
If to Him by faith you'll cry
In love to you He has drawn nigh
He chose you first – made you comply
Opened your heart – He did apply
His saving grace you can't deny
With gratitude we all must cry
“You chose us Father, how and why!”
We don't deserve this grace supply!”  
To earn His love we must not try
He freely gives to those who cry
And like a child on Him rely
Just humbly trust, and He thereby
Will grant you joys far past the sky!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Reigns Upon His Throne
To Save The Rich Is Hard He’s Shown
He Does The Impossible Alone
Makes Camels Walk Through Needles Grown
He Died To Save, Our Sins Atone
Then Rose Alive And Moved That Stone
We’re Justified By Faith Alone
All Sins Behind His Back Are Thrown
Leave Everything To Him We’ve Flown
Give All For Christ Without A Groan
With Joy We Gain, Our Minds Are Blown
For He Repays Beyond What’s Known
Eternal Life Upon His Throne
In Us His Word And Joy’s Sown
We’ll Judge, Our Reign He Will Condone
By Him We’re Loved And Fully Known
He Is Our Treasure, Bone Of Bone!

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

"That's My King!" Who Has Highest Authority Position After Dying For Sin Remission And Calls Us To The Great Commission!


My King's utterly supreme with all the power
He rules every moment and every hour
All God's enemies He will devour
And on us forever blessings shower
For on that cross He took death sour
Which made Him in the garden cower
Then rose again in glorious power
With authority over all He'll forever tower!

That's my King!

Therefore we carry out His great commission
This should be our holy ambition
To make disciples in full submission
To the Lord of glory – our great Physician
And obey His every command and admonition
For our salvation He met every condition
Quenched the wrath of God in humble contrition
Then rose from the grave without opposition
Now from all death He grants abolition
To all who trust Him of their own volition
He'll grant joy and pleasures without intermission!

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

This Gospel must go forth to every nation
Some have no access to His revelation
Apart from Christ there's only damnation
We must go tell in every location
Since He's so worthy for all of creation
To bow down to Him in utter prostration
And give Him all glory without cessation
He'll fill us with joy for eternal duration
He's our only firm foundation
So listen up – His congregation
Are you burdened for the lost and every nation?  
Your King deserves all their adoration\
So go forth for Him and preach salvation
And love the lost without limitation!

That's my King!

Jesus is with you to the very end
He stands alone in Himself as the greatest friend
On Him forever you can always depend
Against all evil He will defend
He'll be with you to help wherever He'll send
And through the pain He'll help you transcend
Praise Him for how He did condescend
He came all evil to suspend
And life forever to extend!

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

Christ Jesus Commands You The Great Commission
He’s God, All Authority, And Highest Position
So Worship Him Now In Humble Contrition
He Calls You To Go Make Disciples Your Mission
Baptize In The Name Of God With Submission
To The Triune God Who Alone Grants Remission
Of All Your Sins Through Christ Your Physician
Who Died On That Cross Bearing All God’s Transmission
Of Anger On Him But Then Rose With Ambition
To Save All The World – Every Nation Addition
So Teach All Christ’s Words And Make No Omission
That All Will Obey His Every Condition
Bow To King Jesus Without Opposition
He’ll Be With You Always Giving Power Ignition
Ensuring His Church Completes The Great Commission
For He Is Your Treasure And Holy Ambition!

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

"That's My King!" Who's Rich Beyond Measure But Gave Up His Treasure To Fill Us With Pleasure!


The rich young man falls on his knees
And calls Christ good – now help me please
Eternal life he wants to seize
But his heart feeds a great disease
More than the God Who hears his pleas
He loves his money more than these
This is not good – it's sinful sleaze
All his goodness he thinks he sees
Which from his youth he's done with ease
God's holiness cannot appease
Since it's not good – idol disease
So trust the King o'er all decrees
The wrath of God He did appease
And rose again – He holds the keys
To life forever, and He frees
From all our idol loving sleaze
And heals our deepest heart disease
For He Himself's the prize we seize
He's our treasure beyond degrees
So come to Him Who all foresees
Your heart's great thirsts He will appease!

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

Be sure of this – our God is good
This rich young man misunderstood
And though he's not come from the hood
He'd failed to do the good he should
His god was gold – with wealth he stood
So sin alone is all he could
Jesus loved and understood
Therefore He died upon that wood
And rose alive – on death He stood
He gives new life so that you could
Turn from sin – live as you should
By faith in Christ God makes you good
So treasure Him – the greatest good!

That's my King!

We all are sinners – this is true
Even us out in the pew
Our hearts sweet idols do accrue
Until His sweetest love breaks through
We turn to Christ with hearts anew
And stick to Him like dust on glue
So bid your greatest loves adieu
And take Him for your greatest view
For on that cross He died for you
Richest Young Ruler out they threw
But three days passed – He rose on cue
And all our enemies He slew
The greatest Lover – He will woo
And be to you forever true
He's better than you ever knew
Now your whole life He will renew!

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

Since Christ so loved, the truth He must
Tell this man and not adjust
Point out to him his money lust
All idol loves with care He'll bust
And call on Him the Christ to trust
He died to make poor sinners just
And lives to evermore combust
Our hearts with growing love robust
For this very God we trust
So let's not put our hopes in rust
Humble stay at the cross dust
May Christ alone be our true lust
May all our hopes on Him be thrust
He is our only need and must!

That's my King!

Christ Is The Riches Of All Of Creation
The Rich Young Ruler Of Every Nation
The Good God From Heaven – The Incarnation
Who Obeyed Every Law – God’s Declaration
Yet Died For Our Sins As Propitiation
Then Rose Up Alive For Our Justification
By Faith Alone There’s No Condemnation
His Spirit Has Come For Sanctification
So Money Love’s Gone And We Conquer Temptation
Unlike This Rich Man Who Faced His Damnation
We Freely Give In Praise Celebration
Our Treasure’s In Heaven At The Consummation
King Jesus Our Preoccupation, Infatuation
And Holy Fascination, Who Causes Intoxication
More Than Anything Else In All Of Creation!

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

"That's My King!" Who's The Littlest Child With Greatest Righteousness Compiled Yet For Our Sins He Died Reviled!


Keep the children far away
That's what His own disciples say
They're unimportant – only play
And so needy day to day
They waste our time – our life delay
What they take they can't repay
And all our bank accounts decay
But Jesus showed another way
He took them in and made them stay
His mercy says: “Come here today!  
My mercy-heart you can't repay!” 
He put His love on full display
When on His back our sins did weigh
The Son of Man our God did slay
To take our sins and pride away
All our hopes in Him are “Yea!” 
God raised Him up on the third day
So now bow down to Him and pray
He'll make you right with God today
And cause you to His Word obey
Then on streets of gold you may
Forever dance and laugh and play!

That's my King!
 
On Christ alone we must depend
As helpless babes we can't ascend
There's nothing in us to commend
But only sin our hearts intend
The God of heaven we offend
Therefore our God so loved He'd send
His only Son His life to spend
To lowest lows He would descend
And on that cross His life expend
Then rise alive all death to end
And make poor sinner babes His friend
To helpless faith He will extend
Strong arms of mercy to defend
All condemnation He will end
And grant a love none comprehend
He's greatest joy – o’er all transcend! 

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

Jesus became the helpless Son
Though He could crush His captors' fun
He died and all the work is done
He rose the universe to stun
Now He's the best – second to none
So trust in Him – the Rising Sun!

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

Christ Is The Hope Of Every Child
Without His Word They’ll Live Like Wild
Apart From Him They’ll Die Defiled
So Bring Them To The Christ They Riled
He Died A Curse, Cast Out, Exiled
Then Rose Alive All Praise Compiled
By Faith Alone We’re Reconciled
Like A Child, Dependent, Mild
All Must Come To The Lamb Reviled
For Then On Us Our God Has Smiled
Please Come To Christ Just Like A Child!

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

"That's My King!" Who Was Never Self-seeking But Gave His Life Shrieking To Show The Love God's Speaking!

Jesus never sought His own; But gave up His very throne to with His death atone for all the sin we've sown since holiness we've blown – our hearts were like a stone; Pure marriage we disown; To hatred we are prone; Our hope's in Christ alone; His mercy-heart He's shown; He died with painful groan; And from the grave He's flown; Now we're His bone of bone; If by faith we're known; In holiness we're grown; We'll never be alone; He never will disown; We'll sit up on His throne – He's the best Husband ever known!
Love doesn't seek its own way; It doesn't demand the last say; It comes from a heart of humble clay; Molded according to the Master's way; Because the Christ our debt did pay; On that cross He did obey; And crushed our selfishness display; Then rose our captor – death – to slay; So come to Him – bow down and pray; He'll take your selfishness away; Live "Christ is all!" without delay!

That's my King!  Do you know Him!?

So die to self in communication; Be slow to speak – don't stir agitation; When conflicts arise causing tempter inflation; A kind answer cools the heat formation; Remove the log from your own eye's location; Focus on "me, myself, and I" sin liberation; Be quick to confess your own sin violation; Be first to the cross for pride cancellation; Husband love your wife as Christ loves the congregation; Wife you submit – the church imitation; Enjoy each other to avoid temptation; Come together often for love sensation; Use your money for God glorification; Parent your children and aim at salvation; Fill them with God's Word – their joy foundation; Above all look to Christ – our hope and elation; He saves from all failures in marriage formation; He's the perfect Spouse ruling all of creation;  The ultimate self-less One Who died for every nation; And rose up in triumph – a victorious celebration; Now for His own there's no condemnation; To God be the glory in all marriage reformation!

That's my King!  That's my King!
