My King was born King. The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King. He’s the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King. He’s the King of Israel – that’s a National King. He’s the King of righteousness. He’s the King of the ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of glory. He’s the King of kings and He is the 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 show His handiwork. My King is the only one whom there are no means of measure can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore of supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. Well, well, 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 the sinner’s saviour. He’s the centrepiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He’s honest. He’s unique. He’s unparalleled. He’s unprecedented. He’s supreme. He’s preeminent. Well, He’s the grandest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the supreme problem in high criticism. He’s the fundamental doctrine of proved theology. He’s the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That’s my King.
He’s the miracle of the age. He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him. Well, 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’s strong God and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharged 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?
Well, my King is a King of knowledge. He’s the wellspring 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 legislatures. 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 He’s the Lord of lords. That’s my King. Yeah. Yeah. That’s my King. My King, yeah.
His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His light 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 coming to tell you, the heavens of heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explaining 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, Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilot couldn’t find any fault in Him.
The witnesses 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 had no predecessor and He’ll have no successor. There’s nobody before Him and there’ll be nobody after Him. You can’t impeach Him and He’s not going to resign. That’s my King! That’s my King! Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Well, all the power belongs to my King. We’re around here talking 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 honour and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and 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 evers, then, Amen
Makes it sound like his surname was King. It would make more sense "My king was born a king."
Reminds me of some other kings throughout history. They say the same thing just with different words. Be it an Egyptian Pharaoh or a deified Caligula. Guess it depends then on what you believe... which claim is more right then other claims just like it. Or maybe none of them are right.
How pushy. Great tactic if you are standing before 5,000 people. Not so good one on one.
Your King? Well, someone has already said Elvis...
Wait... isn't his second coming going to pretty much be God stomping all over civilisation and all man-kinds works?
Uh huh... and what would that be? I've never called upon him to my knowledge, and never received anything... yet I'm still alive and happy. So what needs of mine is is supplying?
Or, alternatively, it is the weak themselves that find inner strength, maybe just being motivated by the claim Jesus is watching them.
But not all of them. Otherwise there wouldn't be all this religious scandal.
Just not on the scale or with the frequency of doctors and science.
When the loan sharks break their legs I bet it is a big comfort to know that at least Jesus doesn't want their money.
Thug: "Fat Don Tony sent us to show you what happens when you don't have his money"
Debtor: "But Jesus discharged my debt."
Thug: "Well, good for you. Sadly though we don't accept Jesus tokens, they don't pay the rent. Now hold still, this might hurt. Alot."
He does? The only times I have seen captives being freed usually involves human intervention. Police, soldiers, charity workers...
By proxy? Once again it tends to be humans doing that, and they aren't exclusively Christian. In fact a good number aren't.
Just not in a physical way... that is once again people.
What, through a telescope?
In an abstract way it seems.
I begin to think "him" is actually "them" - no Jesus, just mortal people.
Funny, what exactly have you been doing in this surgery, overblown sermon Dr. Lockridge? If you can't describe him why go on in such a manner?

As ironic as it might sound I think it would be "cool" to have alternate deity cards for Christmas. No more wise men or angels, lets have Mithra, or Odin or someone else. Anyone else.
I know I'd put them on my mantle (if I had one. Not having a fire place and all.)
