Driving home from work yesterday, with the windows rolled down soaking up all the sun and beauty of the day, I heard a great song on the radio and started singing out loud. I often struggle with this, as soon I realize I am on a Christian radio station wanting to turn it down so I don’t offend someone that may hear it. I usually do not turn it down, but still the thought comes to mind.
But this song especially I did not want to turn down and wanted to belt out the words all that more loudly. Because of the beauty, truth and joy this song elicits in my heart. It made me long for the community and fellowship that is found when one sings praise and worship songs in a large group. What a truly powerful and uplifting experience that is, and how the power and the glory of the Holy Spirit is so evidently present.
So I just want to scream out loud today, JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE MY KING! AMAZING LOVE, HOW CAN IT BE THAT YOU, MY KING, SHOULD DIE FOR ME?
You Are My King (Amazing Love) by Newsboys on Adoration: The Worship Album (2003)

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, to honor You
You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King
Thank you Jesus for entering my heart and transforming me into a new creation that seeks to honor you in all that I do. It is truly my joy and I will never forget the sacrifice you made for me. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
