Here is a poem I wrote this semester. I thought it would be good to share as we are approaching Christmas, see the term "King of Kings" on Christmas cards and decorations, and sing "glory to the new born King."
I wrote it around the time we saw Robin Hood, so I especially enjoyed watching the movie, imaging what life would be like under the rule of a king. Kingship is something I don't think we as Americans can fully grasp. We have a president, different branches of government, and checks and balances in place. Being under the authority of one, would be a different world. What the king says goes. He has all power over you. The difference between a good and bad king would be highly more exaggerated than the difference we see in a good politician and a bad one. Evil and corrupt actions could be taken to a whole other level. I can imagine the people's hate and anger toward an evil king, and their love and affection toward a king who is good, wise, and just. How comforting is it to know that our King is good. When his kingdom comes to earth it will be perfect. Praise Jesus!
What does it mean to have you as my king?
How should it impress on my soul?
You are a righteous ruler
Faithful and just
No child is left hungry
All are feed
Your kingdom is magnificent
Your land is plentiful
There is abundance
The evil do not prevail
Sin is defeated
Your people are full of health and joy
They run and do not grow weary
You are a good king
You welcome the child
You are a great king
Revered by all
The saints bow at your feet
You have chosen the people of your kingdom
Each is dear to your heart
You know your people
Who is this king of glory?
Why did he choose to crown me as his child?
