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!!
A world screaming In my ears Loudly, Systematically A world In love with Itself
Evil, crude Carousing Capable of Many fierce desires Arousing
Until That light Comes pulsating Gently pushing into your life At first maybe small Then larger Of tension Most rife
At odds with A world's narcissistic Evil Christ steps Sometimes roars Against Those strange dark Messages Around your heart Voraciously they soar
So, Tune out the Broken world Tune in Christ His brighter More benevolent light Follow His Gentle more Holy path And fall back into His wonderful, less selfish Loving Eternal Grasp!!
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!
