Christ, Our King
Christ, Our King
God sent His Son to earth, to give
His life for us, that we might live;
He shed His precious blood that we,
Might rule with Him eternally.
He cleansed our hearts and minds from sin,
His Holy Spirit, He placed within;
To lead us in His righteous ways,
That we may serve Him all our days.
In those who serve Him, God takes pleasure,
They will become His special treasure;
His own elect, our God will spare,
On eagle’s wings, these He will bear.
So we must strive with all our might,
To be accepted in His sight;
We must be found among the wise,
With faith in God, not Satan’s lies!
When Christ returns, as King of kings,
He’ll bring us peace, restore all things;
No secrets will be kept concealed,
For then all truth will be revealed.
Then everyone will know the Lord,
And we’ll serve Him with one accord;
Both great and small; both old and young,
From every nation, every tongue.
