Our King

I haven't been able to shake this prayer that God has given me lately.  As I have been working my way through Scripture I can't help but become overwhelmed with this huge, unstoppable, almighty and victorious God of the Bible.  It's so different from the God that was portrayed in Church growing up.  The God I read about is fierce, passionate, answers to no one, and His plans cannot be touched let alone thwarted.  Even the sight of Him is fatal to the onlooker.  What a magnificent God.  This is the God of the Bible: endless power, might, strength, wonder, majesty, and glory.  I wonder why I ever question His ability to come through.  Why I ever doubt His capability to solve something in my life.  And then I think that this God who is so holy, so set apart, and so unapproachable loves me and made a way for me to love him in the most personal and intimate way, and I am, well... overwhelmed.

My prayer lately has simply been: "God continue to give me a higher view of You, to see You in Your splendor and holiness, to bow before You in reverence and gratitude, to somewhat comprehend what love it takes for a relationship to exist between a Perfect God and a sinful man."  So out of this prayer, the song "Our King" was written.  I hope these lyrics help give you a higher view of God.

Our King

You are higher

You are stronger

You are the greatest of all

No men or gods do

We bring our praise to

You have conquered them all

We know our hope is not in vain

For we know our hope is in Your name

Faithful and true

Our King exalted

Righteous and Clean

The One and Only

Your enemies fall

The darkness crumbles underneath

The sound of Your Name

Jesus You reign over all

All wealth and riches

Crumble to ashes

In the light of You God

Your might and power

Make heavens thunder

Not one comes close to You God

We know our hope is not in vain

For we know our hope is in Your name

Faithful and true

Our King exalted

Righteous and Clean

The One and Only

Your enemies fall

The darkness crumbles underneath

The sound of Your Name

Jesus You reign over all

Sin and death have met their end

Your enemies are all undone

All glory to the risen Jesus

The Son of God has overcome

We know our hope is not in vain

We know our hope is not in vain

We know our hope is not in vain

For we know our hope is in Your name

Faithful and true

Our King exalted

Righteous and Clean

The One and Only

Your enemies fall

The darkness crumbles underneath

The sound of Your Name

Jesus You reign over all
