That's My King

Dear Weekly Readers!  Gods Peace!
Perhaps some of you have read or heard the below piece before.  I have enjoyed it so much over the years that I decided to share it in three different formats with you this week.  
I hope you are as encouraged by this as I have been!  We worship the Most Wonderful King!  

Thats My King
by: Dr. S.M Lockridge
The Bible says
Hes the King of the Jews
Hes the King of Israel
Hes the King of Righteousness
Hes the King of the Ages
Hes the King of Heaven
Hes the King of Glory
Hes the King of Kings
and He is the Lord of Lords
Now thats my King!
David says
The Heavens declare the glory of God
And the firmament showeth His handiwork
No means of measure can define His limitless love
No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply
No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing
Hes enduringly strong
Hes entirely sincere
Hes eternally steadfast
Hes immortally graceful
Hes imperially powerful
Hes impartially merciful
Thats my King!
Hes Gods Son
Hes the sinners Saviour
Hes the centrepiece of civilisation
He stands alone in Himself
Hes august
Hes unique
Hes unparalleled
Hes unprecedented
Hes supreme
Hes pre-eminent
Hes the loftiest idea in literature
Hes the highest personality in philosophy
Hes the supreme problem in higher criticism
Hes the fundamental doctrine in true theology
Hes the cardinal necessity of spiritual religion
Thats my King!
Hes the miracle of the age
Hes the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him
Hes the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously
He supplies strength for the weak
Hes available for the tempted and the tried
He sympathises and He saves
He guards and He guides
He heals the sick
He cleansed the lepers
He forgives sinners
He discharges debtors
He delivers the captives
He defends the feeble
He blesses the young
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
And He beautifies the meek
Do you know Him?
My King is the key of knowledge
Hes the wellspring of wisdom
Hes the doorway of deliverance
Hes the pathway of peace
Hes the roadway of righteousness
Hes the highway of holiness
Hes the gateway of glory
Hes the master of the mighty
Hes the captain of the conquerors
Hes the head of the heroes
Hes the leader of the legislators
Hes the overseer of the overcomers
Hes the governor of governors
Hes the prince of princes
Hes the King of Kings
And Hes the Lord of Lords
Thats my King
Thats my King!
My King
His office is manifold
His promise is sure
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
I wish I could describe Him to you
Hes indescribable
Hes indescribable
Hes incomprehensible
Hes invincible
Hes irresistible
Im trying to tell you
The heaven of heavens cannot contain Him
Let alone a man explain Him
You cant get Him out of your mind
You cant get Him off of your hands
You cant outlive Him
And you cant live without Him
The Pharisees couldnt stand Him
but they found out they couldnt stop Him
Pilate couldnt find any fault in Him
The witnesses couldnt get their testimonies to agree
And Herod couldnt kill Him
Death couldnt handle Him
And the grave couldnt hold Him
Thats my King!
He always has been
And He always will be
Im talking about
He had no predecessor
and Hell have no successor
There was nobody before Him
and therell be nobody after Him
You cant impeach Him
and Hes not going to resign
Thats my King!
Praise the Lord
Thats my King
Thine is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory
The glory is all His
Thine is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever
And ever
And ever
And when you get through with all of the forevers
Then
Amen
