He is the King of kings
The Bible says my King is a seven-way king
He’s the King of the Jews
He’s the King of Israel
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
And He’s the King of kings and the Lord of lords
That’s my King...
Well, I wonder
Do you know Him?
This One the signpost pointed to is the King of kings
No means of measure can define His limitlessness
No far-seeing telescope can bring Him to visibility –
the coastline of His sure supply
No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing
He’s enduringly strong, entirely sincere
He’s eternally steadfast
He’s immortally graceful
He’s imperially powerful
He’s impartially merciful
Do you know Him?
He’s the greatest phenomenon who ever crossed the horizon of this world
He’s God’s Son
He’s a sinner’s Saviour
He’s the centrepiece of civilization
He stands in the solitude of Himself
He’s august and He’s unique
He’s unparalleled, unprecedented
the loftiest idea in literature
the highest personality in philosophy
He’s the supreme problem of higher criticism
the fundamental doctrine of theology
He’s the cardinal necessity of religion
He’s the Miracle of the Ages
He is, He is!
He’s the superlative of everything good you can choose to call Him
He’s the only One qualified to be an all-sufficient Saviour
I wonder...do you know Him today?
He supplies strength to 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
cleanses the lepers
forgives sinners
discharges debtors
delivers the captive
He defends the feeble
blesses the young
He serves the unfortunate
and regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
and He beautifies the meek
I wonder if you know Him...
Well, He’s my King
He’s the Key
He’s the key to knowledge
the well-spring of wisdom
the doorway of deliverance
He’s the pathway of peace
the roadway of righteousness
He’s the highway of holiness
the gateway of glory
Do you know Him?
Well, do you know Him?
His office is manifold
His promise is sure
His life is matchless
His goodness is limitless
His love never changes
His Word is enough
His grace is sufficient
His reign is righteous
And His yoke is easy and His burden is light
I wish I could describe Him to you
Yes, yes, yes!
But He’s indescribable
He’s indescribable
He’s indescribable
He’s incomprehensible
He’s invincible
He’s irresistible
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
The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him but they found they couldn’t stop
Him
Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him
The witnesses couldn’t get their testimonies to agree
Herod couldn’t kill Him
Death couldn’t have Him
and the grave couldn’t hold Him
Yeah, that’s my King!
That’s my King!
For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever
