Today’s link features the song sung by Steve Green with a slight variation to the lyrics below
“vs. 1
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark how the heav’nly
Anthem drowns,
All music but its own.
Awake my soul and sing
Of Him who died for me,
And hail Him as
Thy matchless King,
Through all eternity.
refrain:
Majesty!
Lord of all!
Let ev’ry throne
Before Him fall!
The King of kings,
O come adore
Our God who reigns
Forevermore!
vs. 2
Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious
In the strife,
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
(refrain)
Forevermore!
bridge:
All Hail, Redeemer,
Hail!
For He has died
For me.
His praise and glory
Shall not fail,
Throughout eternity!
All Hail, Redeemer,
Hail!
For He has died for me.
His praise and glory
Shall not fail,
Throughout eternity!
(refrain)
Praise God,
Who reigns
Forevermore!
You’re the God
Who reigns
Forevermore!”
“Jesus said, “And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’””
What excites you so much, that it is on your heart all the time? Spouse, family, career, Jesus?
Is your heart into action? Is your heart touched by those in need? Is your heart driven by all who are God's children and family? Is your heart into seeing Jesus in others?
Jesus through this teaching, tells us, `just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it unto me.'
As we celebrate Christ the King Sunday this weekend, as we once again perhaps in routine ways, crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne, let us also in very new ways, give all majesty to the One who reigns for evermore, the One blesses us with signs of love, and let us give thanks the King of kings, the Lord of lords, has his heart focused on us! Jesus satisfies our every hunger and thirst, and he fills our every need!
Does Jesus do all this out of obligation or duty? No! Jesus' heart is into comfort and mercy, power and hope, life and grace, forever fixed on you! In this season of thanksgiving, let us give thanks for and celebrate, Jesus, our King, God’s Perfect Sign of Love!
Let us pray: Loving God, we remember you, our faithful King, forever remember us, providing us with every good gift sent from heaven above. Guard and watch over us; restore your Kingdom. Grant that we and all people, who are divided by sin, may see each other in new ways as family, your family, that we may be united in The One who in majesty reigns forevermore as The King of all creation. By your Spirit, we crown you with many crowns every day, and we give you all thanks and praise, as you renew us once again, with every sign of your love and grace. In Christ The King, we trust and we pray. Amen.
