   "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."

A Poem of Praise: "King of Kings and Lord of Lords"

Here is a poem celebrating this magnificent truth.

"King of Kings and Lord of Lords"

Before the world began to be, Through endless ages,eternally, You reigned upon the heavenly throne, The great I AM,and You alone.

No power raised You to this place, No election,no vote, no race. Your right to rule is by Your worth, The Author of the heavens and earth.

The prophets spoke of One to come, To break the curse,to overcome. They dreamed of David’s greater Son, The Holy,Anointed One.

And then You came, in humble birth, The King of Heaven,come to earth. You wore our flesh,You felt our pain, The Lord of Lords,by sinners slain.

But death itself could not contain, The One through whom all life remains. You rose in everlasting power, At this great truth,the angels cower.

And now You sit, exalted high, Your name’s the shout before we die. Your word can calm the raging sea, And set the sin-bound captive free.

And on that day, the trumpet sound Will through the universe resound. You’ll split the sky,on white horse ride, With glory,justice, at Your side.

And every knee will finally bow, Every tongue confessing now, That You are Christ,the Great I AM, The spotless,sacrificial Lamb.

King of Kings! Your name we praise! Lord of Lords!Through endless days! No rival throne,no equal power, You are our strength,our strong high tower. Amen.

What This Title Means for Us:

· Ultimate Authority: There is no problem, ruler, government, or spiritual power that is outside of His control. He is above all.

· Our Loyalty: He is the only one worthy of our complete allegiance, worship, and obedience.

· Our Confidence: We can trust Him completely with our lives, our futures, and our struggles because He is the victorious, reigning King.

· Our Hope: His title assures us that the story of the world is moving toward His final victory, and we are on the winning side.

Bless you as you worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. May this truth fill you with awe, peace, and unwavering confidence.
