Get down on your knees Oh broken, lost world As the KING of GLORY Passes by May I hear an Audible sigh?
Or maybe not Because Of one thing I fear, We forgot
Coming from so many Pulpits of today Of a very large influence Are words. . . Jesus loves you But of the same pursuance Should be JESUS IS LORD, MASTER, KING! Of these facts should be A total congruence!!!!
So many spiritual leaders Heard today Strip Christ and the Father Of their AUTHORITY Their POWER Over this earth This planet We currently inhabit This world This large, glowing Revolving green pearl
For only this world's Creator King Has the right to command His creation Of this fact the teachers should Not forget nor shun It leaves their listeners Without the correct information
So, put God and Christ Back on our heart's throne And take ourselves off For in life, There is at least still One sure thing He is our most gracious, Compassionate, loving, But ALMIGHTY KING!!
Idols, Idols Everywhere I look, I stare Turning my head I can see Enticing, me To Believe In their goodness What a mess!
You have yours I have mine They’re hard to let go Hard to unwind Most of the flesh To understand Not such a great test Power, Money Material Possessions Sex At time, they can lead To extremes of regret
In love with ourselves We run, we fume, we struggle At times, in singles Or often in doubles We collect, we hoard Then grasp We should feel insecure Nothing down here really Lasts
Reach for the eternal, A Holy Immortal God Please, oh please In Him learn to trust He desires to love us! His blessings They can be known So, don’t stand out in the Dark, all alone Reach for wisdom And take yourself off The idol’s throne!!
Do you realize that like In the children’s story We all live in a Never land Which promises us forever!
Never will I leave you Never will I forsake you Says He These words for all eternity May we all believe God sits on His eternal throne Never trying to hide its Warm Golden glow
And here’s another never for you These words in your heart may they Ring oh so true No one ever, ever May I say again NEVER Is out of His HOLY, DIVINE PRESENSE
On a planet do we live Always at His throne’s foot Does it spin Promising eternity’s life For all who dare to truly love Him I pray all could be conscious daily Of His GLORY, POWER, AUTHORITY And His warm, loving oversight!!
Today In Jerusalem You may hear some clamor Sounds, voices In the air float rumors A third temple they say Will bring for our earth A much better day!!
But don't they know There already is one! It is you and me If in our God Christ Jesus You wholeheartedly Do believe!!
Christ does not Need dead, cold stones In which to survive It is within the human heart He comes best to live And to most assuredly still thrive!!
As Christian believers We are living stones Built up together As one For God's Spirit A newer Home Along with His Holy Son Of this newer temple His Living Cornerstone!!
Once for all Christ's blood purifies For a whole world To see So with faith Anyone, everyone May forever live At the foot of God's throne His deeply loved, Glorified, Perfected Living Stones!!!!
Stripped Meaning to Be destroyed Removed As in to strip old paint Now old undesirable varnish Remove old tarnish
As I stand still Look around Unwillingly caught In all the world's sounds My spirit feels there is Something amiss Something Imprisoned into A darkened twist It is our sense of reality
There is a loss of authority Not of ours, oh no, no In our own we boast all day Over that we keep a tight grip Over that most will sing All day long Through loose, smiling lips It is of someone else's loss
Into the air madly have We tossed Christ's authority Our Creator's Sovereignty Over everyone, everything From Him His power Have we STRIPPED
Today even inside Large and small churches Pastors just say Jesus loves you Which, of course, is the truth But downplay HIS KINGSHIP Is it ignorance or fear Is it now today They're afraid to say He is also our Righteous Judge Full Authority, Power Only belongs to Him All of life's rules, guidelines Come from Him
In the middle of today's Broken world with pain so rife In its confusion, satan's evil, full of strife We need to return to the truth Of our One true leader's power And to bend the knee And refuse to strip Christ Of His rightful authority HIS OVERWHELMING MAJESTY AND UNENDING GLORY!
