Undying Love

…for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5b

Human love may come and go, friends and family forsake us, but we have the wonderful assurance that our loving Savior will never leave us or forsake us.  He is with us until the end of time.  His undying love is forever.

Undying Love

Oh the undying love of my Savior,

That nailed Him to Calvary’s tree.

All my guilt He took on as He suffered there for me,

And now from sin’s curse I am free.

He promised He would never forsake me,

Wretched creature though I may be.

His wondrous love knows no bounds or no measure,

To love such a sinner like me.

Through all life’s trials and tribulations,

My Savior is right beside me,

And one day I will humbly bow in His presence.

Together forever we’ll be.

Someday Christ will come and call me home,

To a place He prepared just for me.

And there I will praise Him and sing Hallelujah,

Throughout all of eternity.

Refrain:

Oh the undying love of my Savior,

What joy and what Heavenly bliss.

I know He will never forsake me.

Forever and ever I’m His.

Christ the Almighty King

Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.  Rev. 15:3b

I have always been fascinated by the different name for Jesus – Son of God, Emmanuel, Christ, Lord, Shepherd, Savior, King.  He is the mighty King, Son of the most High, Lamb, High Priest, but He is also our Savior and Lord.  He gave up all His glory to walk among fellow man and die for our sins.  But He rose from the grave a victorious King and now waits to claim His Holy Bride.

If you notice that this song has a very similar tune to the previous one, you are right.  Since I wasn’t sure I would be granted permission to use Rev. John MacArthur poem, I decided to write my own words.  I had to change it slightly to fit my words, but it is basically the same tune.

Christ the Almighty King

Jesus Christ, Emanuel, child King,

Sent from Heaven above.

You came to earth a tiny babe,

To show the world God’s love.

Jesus Christ, the Shepherd, Savior,

Son of the Most High.

They nailed You to a rugged cross,

And left You there to die.

Jesus Christ, sacrificed Lamb of God,

You took Your final breath.

Up from the grave You then arose,

Conquering sin and death.

Jesus Christ, the risen Lord, Bridegroom,

In Heaven now waiting.

Your holy bride to gather home,

Our joyful, loving King.

Forever through all eternity,

You will reign in splendor and majesty,

Glorious and victorious,

Christ the Almighty King,

Christ the Almighty King.
