Jesus is Lord.

 Jesus Is Lord

A Reflection on Romans 10:9, Philippians 2:11, and 1 Corinthians 12:3

Jesus is Lord—not a title, not a creed,

But the simple, saving truth that meets our deepest need.

Not a distant sovereign, not a silent king,

But the risen, reigning Savior, to whom all hearts must sing.

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

Lord of the cosmos—every star, every galaxy,

Lord of the atom, the smallest mystery.

Lord over history—its rise and its fall,

Lord over death, over hell, over all.

Jesus is Lord—not just a future claim,

But a present reality, a holy, living flame.

He is Lord of my waking, Lord of my rest,

Lord of the burden, Lord of the blessed.

No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3)

To confess “Jesus is Lord” is to bend the knee,

To surrender control, to let the old self flee.

It is to trust not in princes, not in power or might,

But in the One who conquered darkness and brought us into light.

Lord of my finances, Lord of my home,

Lord of my wandering, Lord of my roam.

Lord of my silence, Lord of my speech,

Lord of the mountain and Lord of the beach.

At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)

So I declare it now—not with timidity,

But with the boldness of one who has been set free.

Jesus is Lord of my life, my death, my days.

To Him be glory, honor, and endless praise.

Jesus is Lord.

Let every heart receive.

Let every doubter believe.

Jesus is Lord, forever and ever.

Amen.
