"That's My King!" Who Endured To The End But Was Not Saved And Did Descend To Bear God's Wrath And Life Extend To Those Who Trust Him As Their Friend!

When He died all His work was done; He nailed perfection under the sun; Endured to the end as second to none; And put the devil on the run; Conquered the grave to evil stun; He's heaven's glory – God the Son; And all because His work is done; You can endure – new life's begun!
He endured to the end for His sinful bride; She is the Church for whom He died; Though she's gone astray quite wide; Against Him sinned and fought and lied; For Her "Forsaken!" He has cried!  He suffered death for all her pride; Wrath and love in kiss collide; For her in wrath He's cast outside; Then rose to make her joy abide; To give her beauty from His side; She's the lover He has eyed; And calls her to endure though tried; To go the distance He's the guide; And all she needs He has supplied; In Him she must and will abide; For she will never leave His side; And though she'll sin, and He will chide; He does this so His love's applied; In Him all pleasure He'll provide; His Gospel news will spread worldwide!

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

Enduring to the end can't be done alone; We need each other God has shown; To go astray we all are prone; So when in sin and self we roam; We need our friends who won't condone; The evil seed of sin we've sown; Our good friends love and help dethrone; The sinful pride we've often known; So let us love as Christ has shown; For He is our rejected Stone; Who gave His life and did atone; By faith we are His flesh and bone; With patient care let's not postpone; But love church family as our own; In Christ we know his love unknown; So we can love with Him alone!
May we be together with deep affection; Love in all our imperfection; Only here is sure protection; We meet on day of resurrection; Spur on to love and new direction; Confirm our calling and election; Bear with weakness and rejection; Humbly give and take correction; Submit to others with no objection; Serve each other with affection; Bear with others' imperfection; Since our Christ Who is perfection; Died for sinners' insurrection; Rose alive in resurrection; Now we love from deep reflection; On that cross of His rejection!

That's my King!  That's my King!
