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
