Lord of Lords, King of Kings
You are Lord of lords, King of kings—
The Sovereign above all thrones that earthly power brings.
Before whom every scepter,crown, and rule must fall,
The Alpha and Omega,the first and last of all.
The supreme, unrivalled Sovereign.
Your majesty is not in jewels or gilded seat,
But in the nail-scarred hands that make the work complete.
For You achieved Your kingdom not by force of sword,
But by the whispered love of a suffering Lord.
...the Lord of lords and the King of kings... (Revelation 17:14)
...God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords...(1 Timothy 6:15)
The kings of earth will fade like shadows in the sun,
Their fleeting days of glory,one by one, are done.
But You,eternal Monarch, reign on heaven's throne,
Your government and peace shall never be overthrown.
You are the King who rides a donkey, meek and low,
Whose coronation crown was thorns,that we might know
The depth of royal love that conquers from the cross,
And counts the world's whole empire as worthless,total loss.
So let my heart be Your kingdom, my will Your humble land.
Rule over every passion by the grace of Your command.
For I own no other master;to You alone I sing:
My Lord of lords, my King of kings.
And on that final morning, when every eye shall see
The fullness of the glory that has always been,
A thunderous acclamation from all created things
Will shake the universe:“Lord of lords! King of kings!”
Worthy are You to take all power and praise.
Amen.
