KING OF GLORY

Who is this King of glory, that pursues me with His love?
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words.
My conscience a reminder of forgiveness that I need.
Who is this King of glory who offers it to me?

Who is this King of angels? Oh blessed Prince of Peace.
Revealing things of heaven and all it’s mysteries.
My spirit’s ever longing for His grace in which to stand.
Who is this King of glory? Son of God and Son of man.

His name is Jesus.
Precious Jesus.
The Lord almighty.
King of my heart
King of glory

This song was on the radio just now – and they only played a little portion of it cause they were busy with a show, but it cut me so deep this morning that it left me in tears. It brought me to my knees and opened my eyes. Just the first line is enough to get me blubbering ALL over again…”this King of glory that pursues me [US] with His love…” A King! Of Glory! Pursuing me?? Why? Why would He even be even a teeny weeny bit interested in me? I am moody, snappy, irritable, proud, I am not worthy of a Glorious Kings Love. Yet he is always pursuing, relentlessly pursuing….
And the second line! I am sure we have all experienced that “haunting” feeling – specially when we go astray. We can always hear Him gently, softly and lovingly calling us back. And then the third line. May I NEVER forget that I need His forgiveness. May I never get too proud to get on my knees and ask for His forgiveness and may I NEVER forget the sacrifice on the cross, the absolute epitome of forgiveness.
Then the third line in the second verse. Oh I know that longing. And I have felt the wonder of standing in His glory and in His presence. And I felt it again this morning when He spoke to me through this song. He was reminding me that He loves me and that I need Him. Sometimes I get so caught up in the things happening around me and I get emotional (I am a woman afterall) and upset and I begin to snap at those around me - and all because of something so small and silly that happened at home or at work, not even something important or life changing!! And I start to allow my flesh to take over. And that is when God sends me a little love note, like this song just to ground me in Him again and He says "Hey! Remember Me? I love you. I died for you. Now stop your silly behaviour, take control of your flesh and let My Spirit work in you again."
And it is in those moments that I find myself on my knees at His feet where all the troubles in the world cannot reach me.

Who is this King of Glory? He is my Father, my Abba, my Daddy, My Lord!!

How blessed and fortunate are we to have such a loving, faithful Father. A KING, not just sommer anybody! And one who loves us so much. He is the King of my heart, He is precious Jesus. And I love Him very much.
