"That's My King!" Who Came From Mary's Virgin Womb And Faced His Father's Wrathful Doom Then Resurrected From the Tomb To Be Our Everlasting Groom!


Why do you live upon the earth? 
What's your treasure – greatest worth? 
What fills your heart with sweetest mirth?  
Oh may it start with virgin birth! 
When God the Son came down to earth!  
He is our life's most precious worth!

That's my King!

Sadducees denied the resurrection
They came with a question for insurrection
But were overwhelmed by Christ's objection
He shut their mouths with truth correction
To His church He gives protection
From false teachers' death infection
On that cross He faced rejection
Even though He was perfection
Took on Him our sin collection
But gave the tomb the great ejection
For He's the life and resurrection! 

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

He's worthy of life-long reflection! 
He alone is our connection
To the God of all complexion
He'll give your life a new direction
Fill your heart with pure affection
You will never face rejection
For He's the God of your election
And He'll bring you to perfection!

That's my King!

Jesus told them they were wrong
Though they've read the Word lifelong
They don't know it – sounding gong
They deny that God is strong
He'll raise the dead and life prolong
To His family you'll belong
And in your heart He'll put a song
Join the everlasting throng
And praise His name with voices strong!

That's my King!

Marriage on earth will face cessation
Then – eternal celebration
The Lamb's our Spouse – our perfect relation
The church is His bride at the consummation
From every tongue and tribe and nation
He'll love and support without accusation
He'll protect and provide with no frustration
He satisfies your deepest aspiration
He's worthy of every and all adoration
Because on that cross He saved from damnation
To bring us the joys of eternal salvation
He's God of the living with no condemnation
Trust in Him now with no reservation
He'll fill you with fullness of joy's elation
And thus we praise the incarnation
The Word made flesh in combination
Let us adore in admiration!

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

Christ Jesus Is Our Life Resurrection
Our Holy Groom Of All Affection
There’s No Human Marriage And No Rejection
In Heaven Where Christ Is Every Perfection
He’s God Of The Living And Our Protection
Astonishing All With His Bold Correction
He Died On That Cross Under Wrath Subjection
Then Rose Up Alive In Power Projection
Now All That’s In Marriage, That Human Connection
You’ll Find It In Him Our Treasure Collection
God Chose Us In Him Through Sovereign Election
Because Of His Life We Change Our Direction
And Live From His Smile For Glory Reflection
For He’s Our Resurrection, Affection
And Perfect Perfection!

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

"That's My King!" Who Owns All Things, Bold Truth He Brings, And Caesar Bows To The King of Kings!


Jesus reigns over everything supreme! 
He's the King Who rules over every regime
He, above all, deserves highest esteem
He shed His own blood – a pure, healing stream
And rose from the grave – our lives to redeem
In His Father's eyes, He's the brightest gleam
By faith in Him you can share this gleam
Forgiven and righteous and all you don't seem
He saves the worst of sinners extreme
Of the greatest story ever told – He's the theme of themes
So bow to Him now as your joy supreme!

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

The Devil tries our Christ to trap
False teachers flatter with their yap
The question they hope will soon unwrap
All His success and planning snap
He'll take and all their evil scrap
Their plans He stops and now we rap
His answer causes us to clap
He put this sentence on the map
Our Christ no one will ever trap!

That's my King!

We give to Caesar what we owe
God gave to him to rule below
Authority did God bestow
On kings and rulers high and low
For through this rule God's blessings grow
Even if man's rule below
God's good commandments out they throw
Against this rule will come God's woe
For He will punish every foe
And soon someday though time seems slow
Justice like waters down will flow
And righteousness o'er all He'll sow
For Christ did die once long ago
Upon Himself He took God's woe
That you deserve who were God's foe
He died to make you clean like snow
Then rose alive – death's sting forgo
Now o'er all death He shouts a "No!" 
And on your life mercies bestow!

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

God bought you – now you are His own
His image on yourself is shown
He ripped right out your heart of stone
And makes you more like Christ full grown
You owe Him all you've ever known
All this since Christ was overthrown
He let Caesar Himself to own
And died upon that cross alone
For all our sins He did atone
Then rose to rule upon His throne
So look to Him and bow down prone
And find in Him delights unknown!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Reigns And You Belong
To Him Alone, So Don’t Prolong 
Your Death To Self, But Come Along
To Him Who Died And Rose Up Strong
He Bore God’s Wrath For All Your Wrong
Redeems From Olney To Hong Kong
So Now Salvation Is Your Song
To Him Your Life, Your All Belong
You’ll Pay Your Taxes Full Lifelong
Submit To Caesars Who Do Wrong
For He’s Your Joy And Your Song
Your Marvel Who Can Do No Wrong!

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

"That's My King!" Who Was Single All His Life And Conquered Every Strife Then Gave His Precious Life So We Could Be His Wife!

The pleasures of marriage, Jesus never knew; He lived and died – the single Jew; There are joys in sex and intimacy true; But from a greater joy He drew; His Father's the greatest pleasure He knew; Pleasures forevermore and joys through and through! His delights in the Father flourished and grew; The pleasures of sin away He threw; No lust His heart would ever pursue; For God's beauty itself is the greatest view; His heart was crushed when this Beauty withdrew; For on that cross God's wrath would spew; Forsaken by God He paid our due; He became sin – for me and for you; Though no sin to Him would ever accrue; Then He arose and made all things new! To bring you to God – a bride clean and true; Come to Him now – your desires He'll subdue; You'll cry from your heart:  "All my joy is You!"
Oh Father please come – my need seems dire; Please come help me fight overwhelming desire; Oh God you alone can put out the fire;  Turn my eyes upon You and lift me up higher; To trust and obey all that You require; May I find "Christ is all!" –  my great King and Sire; And delight in Him – our greatest Desire!

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

God's Word says singleness is the best way; And you'll be happier if single you stay; All your attention on God you can lay; He'll fill all your thoughts – to Him you can pray; He wants you alone with Him everyday; A Lover Who's jealous and won't let you stray; He's the fountain of all delight so survey; His glory about beauty on full display; He died to take all your sins away; And lives to give you life His way; So trust in Him and fight to obey; He'll grant you contentment – come what may!
One day you'll be married for eternal duration; This fact is certain – God's declaration; For all who trust in Christ for salvation; Will marry the Lamb in the new creation; His bride you will be from every nation; You'll marry the King – the best combination; Most loving, most kind, your closest relation; The greatest Spouse – beyond all expectation!  If you have Him, fear no deprivation; You'll know all is good at the consummation; Where joys in Him pass all imagination; And grow forever in great adoration; The Husband-King is all compensation; So find in Him life's full celebration!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who's The Beloved Stone And Son Whom Wicked Men Would Kill And Shun But Through His Death His Work Is Done – Now He's Alive Second To None!


God planted His vineyard and expected fruit
Israel – His beloved, tender shoot
But sadly her leaders had no root
Glory and money was their pursuit
Their sin and rebellion was acute
They killed the prophets – truth dilute
His vineyard pure they did pollute
And took the wicked, murderous route
So when Christ came, Him they'd refute
And cut Him down – His voice mute
But He's the Christ – He won't be mute!  
He ended death and killed its root!  
For He's Messiah – God's True Shoot!  
The Israelite Who'd bear much fruit!  
To save His bride was His pursuit
And all her wickedness refute
So trust Him now – He will recruit
And put you on a God pursuit!

That's my King!

God's patience runs with sinners long
In spite of all that they've done wrong
He cries: “Please turn and come along!
Follow Me where you belong!
I don't delight in judgment strong!
That's why I sent My Son along!” 
God made Him who knew no wrong
To be the wrong and suffer long
So He could save – make us belong
So trust the Savior Who is strong
His mercy-heart is your new song!

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

If the Christ you do reject
Against God's wrath He won't protect
And only curse you can expect
For Christ alone can wrath deflect
Since on that cross He hung erect
And took God's wrath Himself direct
He alone can saved the wrecked
Since He'd die then resurrect
And all our blessings there collect
Against all foes He will protect
So trust Him now and you're elect
His glory then you will reflect
And from your sins He will perfect
Of joy He'll be your great object!

That's my King!

Christ, above all, is the most precious Stone!
No diamond compares with the glory He's shown
Breathtaking beauty that leaves your mind blown
He's the greatest reality to ever be known
All your enemies He'll master and own
Since He gave His life for your sin to atone
Rejected by men and God all alone
In the dark on that tree He died with a groan
Then conquered the grave – and death's overthrown
He's alive not dead – from the tomb He's flown
Now He rules over all upon His throne
Come to Him now – no longer postpone
Believe in the Savior and bow to this Stone
His Word in your heart will ever be sown
He'll give you a love – a love unknown
Your joys shall rise in Christ alone
And you He'll hold tight and never disown!

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

Christ Jesus Is The Son And Stone
Of The Corner Best That’s Known
Marvelous In Our Eyes Shown
So Beautiful That Minds Are Blown
God’s Done This We Are His Own
By Christ’s Rejection Died Alone
Spit On, Beaten To The Bone
Bore God’s Wrath For Sins Atone
Died And Rose To Victory Own
Now With All Power On His Throne
He Rules O’er All The Cornerstone
Shows Mercy To All Those He’s Known
Who Trust In Him By Faith Alone
But Crushes Sinners, Down They’re Thrown
Who Reject His Rule And Groan
So Trust The Son He Won’t Disown
All Those By Grace To Him Have Flown!

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

"That's My King!" Who Owns All Authority On High, False Teachers' Evil Tongues He'd Tie, Then Speak The Truth And For Us Die!


Authority is the right and power to command
To Whom will you bow and not withstand
Christ the King rules every land
All other powers are sinking sand
His Kingdom's rule will ever expand
So turn from self-rule and what you've planned
Submit to Him and give your hand
To do with joy His command
His death was just – God's right demand
He rose alive in glory grand
And now if you by faith will stand
You'll enter in the promised land! 

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

Who will you, above all, obey?
That's your king no matter what you say
The greatest king that makes us stray
Is our king-self that we must slay
Now put king-self to death and say:
“My Christ is all! - For all He'd pay!” 
He died and rose on the third day!  
To take your wicked sin away
And be the King you will obey
He'll never let you go astray
But gives His mercy full display
In your new life He is the way!

That's my King!

They come to God and want to question
Instead they should bow and make confession
All authority's in His possession
He raised the dead – a bold impression
He said, “I AM!” - His God expression
He forgave sins – that's only God's discretion
He has all power but no oppression
He can save from all aggression
And heal your every paralyzing depression
He'll save from every evil transgression
He ever lives to make intercession
His aim is to be your greatest obsession! 

That's my King!

Jesus responds – I will question you
Like God said to Job, now brace for what's true
Stand back my friends – don't mess with this Jew!
He won't answer the fool like we often do
He reveals their cowardly hearts that He knew
And shows that they must be born anew!

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

God is silent to those full of pride
In humility bow – set self aside
He loves the humble with arms open wide
His mercy is free to all who abide
By faith in Him – in His mercy hide
For God was silent to Christ when He cried:
“My God! My God! You've left My side!” 
Oh the sad silence when Jesus died
But God raised Him up – all mercies supplied
God's silence is broken for all worldwide
So trust in Him now and be His pure bride
He'll save you forever – your needs He'll provide
And fill you with joy that no one can hide!

That's my King!

Christ Jesus Reigns, Owning All Authority
In Everything He Bleeds Superiority
Don’t Question Him For He’s Right In The Majority
He’s Everlasting With Utmost Seniority
Yet He Died On That Cross And Was Counted Inferiority
Bearing God’s Wrath In Horrific Deteriority
But Rose Up From The Dead With All Superiority
Saving From Every Nation: The All And The Minority
So Trust In Him As Your First Priority
And Bow Down To His God-Man Authority
Who Is Himself Our Joy Superiority!

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

"That's My King!" Who Took On Flesh That Happy Morn And From His Father's Side Was Torn So We Could One Day Be Reborn!

Our King said: "You must be born again!  If God's Kingdom you'd enter in!"  It's the only way He'll save from sin; He came down our souls to win; So He was born outside the inn; And in a stable trough therein; A humble slave like none has been; He died and rose to save from sin; So you could have new life within; If all on Him your hopes you'll pin; Then turn and deeply hate your sin; You know your new life did begin; He grants you joy and peace within! In Christ the victory we'll win!
Enter once more into the womb?  How can this be – he can't presume; Yet physically he did assume; When Christ spoke of a Spirit bloom; The Holy One comes with a boom; He takes the stony hearts of doom; And grants new hearts – the Spirit's room; For since He died and took our gloom; And rose and reigns o'er all the tomb; We live with Him – our great Bridegroom; Take off your sinful self costume; Be who you are in Christ and bloom; For He's the Lover we consume!

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

Water and Spirit is the key; To make you clean and set you free! In God's great works we often see; These two at work – they do agree; The first creation – God's decree; His Spirit roamed over the sea; In new creation, hearts will be; What God makes new to set you free; And all because our God for thee; Did bleed and die upon that tree!
The Spirit cannot be contained; He's like the wind that can't be chained; His work can't fully be explained; But all whom God has foreordained; Will have new hearts and be constrained; To follow Christ Whose blood has stained; That cross where all for us was gained; Where pains of hell his body strained; As all His blood poured out and drained; Oh! This love can't be explained! Neither can it be contained! By the grave He's not restrained! But lives forevermore unfeigned! To give us all that He's obtained! In Him we are always sustained! For on us mercies He has rained!
After new birth, we will obey; And follow all our Christ did say; We have new hearts that will not stray; For in them God's law is the way; Plus the Spirit will display; His work in us each passing day; So trust the Son Whom God did slay!  He is the truth – the life – the way!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Cried Father Forgive Then Died And Rose So You Could Live And Now Forgiveness Freely Give!


Forgive is what our Master did
His mercy-heart cannot be hid
He cried for mercy – made His bid
While into death's firm grip He slid
And now because of what He did
God's grace from us cannot be hid
He crushed death's grip – of sin we're rid!  
All blessings flow – none He'll forbid!  

That's my King!

Christ had the most against us all
Our sins against Him piled up tall
Between us stood a wrathful wall
Against the God above appall
And ever since Adam's great fall
We've loved our sin that treats God small
We've persecuted Him like Saul
And treated with contempt and gall
The One Who is the all in all!

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

Yet even in our sin so bad
That's made our infinite God mad
All our sins to Christ He'd add
And crush His Son – He's all God had
Now we will be forever glad
With no more sin to make us sad
For with Christ's righteousness we're clad
And God's our loving, patient Dad!

That's my King!

Now trust in Christ and to Him flee
He saves by faith alone – no fee
And this salvation is the key
To grant you a forgiveness spree
Oh there behold Him on that tree
He loved and died to set you free
He cast your sins into the sea! 
And when this lavish grace you see
You'll love, forgive, and peace will be
No grudges hold – just sweet esprit
No matter what's been done to thee
All because the One in Three
Gave up Himself upon that tree!

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

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!

"That's My King!" Who Perfectly Believed And Holy Righteousness Achieved So Full Forgiveness We've Received!

"Have faith in God" is what He said; Blind unbelief will leave you dead; Just like the fig tree cursed widespread; They saw the life that Christ had lead; He healed the sick and raised the dead; Without much food gave thousands bread; Made lame to walk – picked up his bed; The blind would see – have light instead; And yet they doubted Christ their Head; And even from His side they fled; But He goes forth – stands in their stead; And on that cross His blood He shed; He took God's wrath and for us bled; Now lives forevermore to spread; New life to all who trust  and wed; The Son of God by faith Who said; "Three days will pass but look ahead; I'll rise again and on death tread!"  Then all your fears and doubts He shred; And gives you joy and life instead; So come to Him – don't be misled; By faith He'll raise you from the dead; And be your all in all to spread!

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

Prayer is for battle – the warrior's call; Not for a butler down the hall; To bring you worldly stuff so small; Cry out to God and learn from Paul; Who prayed for Christ's love to enthrall; And mercies down from heaven fall; So wicked sinners bad like Saul; Could turn from sin and on Christ call; Then He would be their all in all!
Saving faith is where true life starts; And false religion all departs; There's true worship from our hearts; A gift from God that He imparts!
Believing prayer begs for God's will; We follow Jesus in His zeal; "Thy will be done!" His murder seal; And though the Devil bruised His heel; He crushed the serpent's head for real; Then rise He did to make death squeal; The nations He from sin would heal; Remember Paul – His thrice appeal; "Take this thorn – the pain I feel!" But "No" Christ said – "this is ideal; For in your weakness I'll be steel; My grace enough in your ordeal!" So trust the Lord and taste His meal; May joy in Christ you all fulfill!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Is The Temple Pure And Clean Who Drove The Robbers From The Scene To Grant Us Grace And Peace Serene!


For God's house He had great zeal
It ate Him up – He can't conceal
Passion for justice that He'd feel
God's glory He won't let them steal
He came the temple's end to seal
For He's the temple Who'd reveal
His death through murder – pain ordeal
Through resurrection death repeal
All so sinners He could heal
And save them from sin's death appeal
To make them righteous – strong like steel
God came as man – the Man ideal
Our Christ is all – before Him kneel
Then He will fill you with a zeal
For Him alone – with longings feel
Since He's the glory none can steal! 

That's my King! Do you know Him!?
 
Jesus died for every nation
Haitian, Croatian, and Galatian
He redeems from condemnation
Every tribe and tongue translation
He makes His family blood relation
He lives for their complete salvation
And makes all one – a new creation
Where Christ is all – our sure foundation! 

That's my King!

The Jewish leaders wanted to kill
They feared their idols Christ would steal
Though He came with pure goodwill
All God's Word He did fulfill
They hated Him with evil chill
And had Him killed on Calv'ry's hill
Yet through His blood that they would spill
He won the battle – what a thrill! 
So trust Him now – in peace be still
His glory this whole earth will fill!

That's my King!

Oh the temple! What a sight! 
So big and huge, robust with might! 
It's where God dwelt with glory light
Greatest wonder many write
But oh there's One Who's greater bright!
His glory shines a better light!
He enters in – the cleansing Knight
Against all sin He'll win the fight
And though He sometimes comes with fright
And doesn't always seem polite
His mercy's here for all contrite
For those who turn from sin outright
And trust in Him with all delight
For Jesus died to make you right
And rose again to kill death's bite
He's the temple great in might!
With fame and beauty out of sight!
He'll save you from your dreadful plight
And fill you full with pure delight!

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

Christ Jesus Is The Temple Praise
The God-Man Truth His Life Conveys
Zeal For God’s House He Loves, Obeys
He Toppled Tables In A Blaze 
Of Righteous Anger For Their Craze
For Self And All Their Sinful Ways
The Temple Is For Prayer And Praise
Of Him Who Sent His Son These Days
To Die And Rise So We Could Raise
Hosannas To Our God Always
Now Every Nation To Him Prays
He’s Healer, Wonderful’s The Phrase
That Captures What He Is Amaze
All Hail! All Hail! The King Of Praise
Who Is Our All, Our All Always
Who Saved Us From Our Sinful Ways
So He’ll Forever Be Our Craze!

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

"That's My King!" Who Cursed The Barren Tree And Finally Came To Set Us Free For He's The Fruit – Come Taste And See!


Jesus got hungry – He wanted to eat
He had a heart with rhythmic beat
He is a man with hands and feet
And yet He's more than man we meet
He's God and man both full complete
He is Yahweh on the street
He sits as God on judgment seat
He reigns forevermore elite
He came and wanted figs so sweet
Instead He found a tree deplete
Like Israel – the chaff not wheat
She's dead and dying – sad defeat
Her sins so often on repeat
So her great pride Christ will delete
For He's true Israel complete
And yet the Christ they would mistreat
They spit on Him – His back they beat
Nailed to the cross His hands and feet
And there He died under God's heat
But rose alive – the grave defeat
And now He never will retreat
But bear much fruit – the sweetest sweet
So trust in Him – your doubt unseat
He'll make your sins all obsolete
And as your cry you will repeat
“My Christ is all! - I am complete!” 

That's my King! Do you know Him?!
   
Do you have leaves but bear no fruit?
Bless God and praise just for the loot?
Your praises God will finally mute
And you'll be cursed down to the root
But praise our Christ! - He's in pursuit!
To save from loves that you pollute
And grant You Him – the greatest fruit!
Who died as cursed to you impute
His righteousness just like a suit
You put Him on – your sins are moot
He rose death to condemn – refute
So now toward Him you make pursuit
Delight in Him – you'll bear much fruit!

That's my King!

Jesus was the curse upon that tree
Though He's the most fruitful you could be
He’s made a curse for you and me
He is True Israel – the Key
To true religion – love that's free
Our glorious God – the One In Three
He bids you come – from your sin flee
Trust the Son – He'll set you free
And cast your sins into the sea
The Lord is good – come taste and see!

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

Christ Jesus Grows The Greatest Fruit
His Perfect Holiness Salute
He Loves And Serves And Saves To Boot
There’s No One Like Him, No Dispute
From Olney, Gaza, To Beirut
Sin Does And Has And Will Pollute 
Like Israel Who Bore No Fruit
And Acted Like A Prostitute
Christ Curses All From Head To Root
But He Will Save And Death Refute
For On A Tree He’s Cursed And Mute
He Bore God’s Wrath Like Sinner Brute
He Died Our Lamb And Substitute
Then Rose Alive The Grave To Loot
Of All His Loved Ones Hot Pursuit
His Righteousness He Does Impute
By Faith Alone We’re Just, On Route
To Pray To Him And Mounts Uproot
For He’s Our All, The Greatest Fruit!

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