Trusting in the King of kings and Lord of lords


The little Nativity scene acted out by the children was touching. The mystery that God became human flesh was portrayed once again. It was really beautiful. However, in my state of mind, I couldn’t help think, “Jesus, I need more than a baby. I am counting on You to pull off all that I am hoping for. My entire trust is in You to deliver salvation, resurrection and a New Heaven and a New Earth.” A baby is fine. So is “Fairest Lord Jesus”. So is, “ The Good Shepherd” and “The Man of Sorrows”. But perhaps as never before in my life, I have placed all of my hope, all of my expectations on You to Deliver Your promises. I need the all powerful Creator and God of this Universe.

But when the adult choir ended the Christmas program with the Hallelujah Chorus I was overwhelmed with praise and worship and emotion. Standing with everyone else, I raised my hands in praise.

The baby REALLY IS THE Omnipotent One in the flesh. He really is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! The mystery of Christmas, the simple story of the babe in the manager never seemed so powerful as tonight.

Now stand up with me and worship:


Hallelujah Chorus Hymn
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The kingdom of this world Is become the kingdom of our Lord,

And of His Christ, and of His Christ;

And He shall reign for ever and ever, For ever and ever, forever and ever,

King of kings, and Lord of lords,

King of kings, and Lord of lords,

And Lord of lords,

And He shall reign, And He shall reign forever and ever,

King of kings, forever and ever, And Lord of lords,

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

And He shall reign forever and ever,

King of kings! and Lord of lords!

And He shall reign forever and ever,

King of kings! and Lord of lords!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Hallelujah!
