THE KING

God has secured an everlasting kingdom

And introduced another kind of kingship

By one who proved His every act was king-like

And demonstrated His expertise in kingcraft.

Jesus is King, true as no other king is

Because His blood establishes the King’s peace;

Grace is the salient principle of His kinghood

Through righteousness in which His rule is kingly.

And with Him rule the ones who are His kindred

Who know the Lord as their Redeemer-Kinsman -

Not merely His as simply fleshly kinsfolk

But made His own in an eternal kinship.
