"That's My King!" Whose Years Have No End Though In Death He'd Condescend To Show A Love You Can't Comprehend!

Hebrews 1:12:  But you are the same, and your years will have no end.

2012 has come and ends, but from eternity past His life extends; And unlike your resolution that toward failure tends; He always accomplishes everything He intends; On Him your life and hope depends; On that cross He became what offends so that sinners to God through Christ commends and all their evil He suspends, for He rose up to make Divine amends; Against all your enemies He defends and for your faith always contends as your only Friend of friends Whose love and beauty all things transcends!
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever; He fulfills with perfection every endeavor; If you believe in Him, He'll save whosoever; For on that cross His Father did sever, but He rose from the tomb to die again never; In the new year may He be your greatest treasure!
Crown Him the LORD of all your years; He owns your past and future fears; He'll take away your lonely tears, turn them into praising cheers, and make sure sadness disappears; He reigns o'er all your earthly spheres, and every sin He paid and clears; His tender, loving, attentive ears, your cries for mercy always hears; He cares much more than all your peers; We hope and pray His coming nears; When He returns our joy appears; As we crown Him the LORD of years!

That's my King!  I wonder if you know Him in this new year?!

All your times are in His gracious, sovereign hand; Each event at His perfectly timed command, even when you don't fully understand; Nothing He does is done unplanned; We know His plans for you are grand – He's told us in His Book firsthand; "All things for good!" His Word will stand; His glory through your life expand; All your enemies He'll withstand, and hold you in His loving hand!
May delight in Him be your resolution; He's worthy for us to endure persecution; He's the only true solution to all earth's sin pollution, not the constitution or other government revolution; For on that cross He embraced execution and took our sinful, godless prostitution by enduring God's wrath by substitution where He took God's angry retribution in order to make full restitution to save us from all prosecution; He rose up from death and dissolution to establish His Bride – the Church institution!
He's the center of all joy and celebration; So stay up late and praise the Incarnation; Of His worship there shall be no cessation; For He's the Lamb Who was slain to save from damnation and grant us such a great salvation, winning for Himself everlasting admiration!

That's my King!  That's my King!
