"My King was born King.
The Bible says He is the seven-way King.
He is the King of the Jews. That’s a racial King!
He is King of Israel. That’s a national King!
*
He’s a King of righteousness.
He’s a King of the ages.
He’s the King of heaven.
He is the King of glory!
He’s the King of kings and Lord of lords.
*
Now that’s my King!
*
Well, I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him?
Don’t try to mislead me. Do you know my King?
*
David said, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork.”
No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing!
*
He’s enduringly strong, He’s entirely sincere,
He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful.
He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful.
*
THAT'S MY KING!
*
He’s God’s Son. He’s a sinner’s Savior.
He’s the centerpiece of civilization.
He stands alone in Himself.
He’s august! He’s unique!
He’s unparalleled! He’s unprecedented!
He’s supreme! He’s preeminent!
*
He’s the loftiest idea in literature!
He’s the highest idea in philosophy!
He’s the fundamental truth in theology!
He’s the cardinal necessity of spiritual religion!
*
THAT'S MY KING!!
*
He’s the miracle of the ages!
He’s the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously!
He supplies strength for the weak!
He’s available for the tempted and the tried!
He sympathizes and He saves!
He guards and He guides!
*
He heals the sick, He cleans the lepers!
He forgives sinners, He discharges debtors,
He delivers captives, He defends the feeble,
He blesses the young, He serves the unfortunate,
He regards the aged, He rewards the diligent,
He beautifies the meek!!
*
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
*
Well, my King is the King of knowledge,
He’s the Well-spring of wisdom,
He’s the Doorway of Deliverance,
He’s the Pathway of Peace,
He’s the Roadway of Righteousness,
He’s the Highway of Holiness,
He’s the Gateway of Glory,
He’s the Master of the Mighty,
He’s the Captain of the Conquerors,
He’s the Head of the Heroes,
He’s the Leader of the Legislators,
He’s the Overseer of the Overcomers,
He’s the Governor of governors,
He’s the Prince of princes,
He’s the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords.
*
*
THAT'S MY KING! YEAH, THAT'S MY KING!!!
*
*
His life is matchless, His goodness is limitless!
His mercy is everlasting His love never changes!
HIS WORD IS ENOUGH!!!
*
His grace is sufficient, His reign is righteous!
His yoke is easy and His burden is light!
*
Well. I wish I could describe Him to you!!
*
But He’s indescribable. He’s indescribable!
Yes, He’s incomprehensible!
He’s invincible, He’s irresistible!
I’m trying to tell you, the Heavens cannot contain Him,
let alone a man explain Him!
*
You can’t get Him out of your mind!
You can’t get Him off of your hands!
You can’t outlive Him, and
you can’t live without Him!!
*
Well, The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him,
but they found out THEY COULDN'T STOP HIM!!
Pilate couldn’t find ANY FAULT IN HIM!!
The witnesses [at his trial] couldn’t get their testimonies to agree.
Herod COULDN'T KILL HIM!!
DEATH COULDN'T HANDLE HIM and
THE GRAVE COULDN'T HOLD HIM!!
*
THAT'S MY KING!!!! YEAH!!
*
He always has been, and He always will be!
I’m talking about He [who] had NO predecessor,
and He [who] has NO successor!!
*
There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody after Him.
You can’t impeach Him, and HE's NOT GOING TO RESIGN!!!
*
*
Praise the Lord! THAT'S MY KING!!!!!
THINE is the KINGDOM and the POWER and the GLORY!!!!
Well. All the power belongs to my King!
We around here talk about black power and white power and green power, but it’s GOD'S POWER!!!
Thine is the power. Yeah! And the glory!
*
We try to get prestige and honor and glory to ourselves,
but the glory is all His. Thine is the kingdom
and the power,
and the glory,
forever, and ever, and ever, and ever.
How long is that?
And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever,
and when you get through with all of the forevers, then AMEN!!!”
