From sins dread disease
And He gave me a brand new start
Now I sing praise to Him daily

And my wife is a blast
I sure hope this is true about you!

We’ve all heard stories from long ago
About people and creatures that just weren’t so
These made up tales
Were told to regale
And through time some believed what they told
But to say that Jesus was mythical
Is truly quite unethical
There’s plenty of proof
To make it a truth
That Jesus was real and methodical
He came to this earth as a sacrifice
And He lived to offer up His life
His blood set us free
From sins dread diisease
And He rose to give life for all time

It used to be I would percolate it
But now Mr Coffee’s the norm
I used to percolate things of God

Or if he was just a big hoax
But then I met Jesus one fateful day
And my whole attitude was changed
Now I take in the whole word of God
And I’ll never be the same

Because I was really cool
I was oft called a righteous dude
As I walked through my school
But then I learned my righteousness

He comes riding on the clouds
Dressed in brilliant white
His robes flow free behind Him
As He breaks upon my sight
With crowns upon His head
Flames of fire in His eyes
The Word of God rides in
As a warrior in the skies
He is the King Almighty
Faithful and True
Coming in the last day
To rescue me and you
His armies ride behind Him
Clothed in robes of white
Their horses match the color
As they gallop with the Light
On His thigh, His name is written
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
A sharp sword in His mouth
To smite the nations with His word
He is the King Almighty
Faithful and True
Coming in the last day
To rescue me and you
An angel cried through heaven
Come and gather for the feast
And the birds all came to answer
Time to rid earth of the beast
The feast was set before them
Kings and armies of the earth
The battle waged and finished
The King of Kings the victory earned
He is the King Almighty
Faithful and True
Coming in the last day
To rescue me and you
His name is high above
Every other name or sound
Jesus is the Lord of all
He wears the royal crown
I’ll sing His praise forever
My mighty warrior King
He fights my battles for me
He rules o’er everything
The Psalmist
