How Many Kings?

Happy Monday morning readers!

I wanted to share a song with you that is very quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is called How Many Kings by Downhere (you can download your copy HERE). Although it was released last year on their album Bethlehem Skyline, I am just hearing it now (late again, I know). It is being billed as a "CHRISTmas Song" because it speaks about the birth of my King but the message is timeless.

The chorus:
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

I have posted a fan's music video below. As you watch it, read the lyrics, and ask yourself that question... "How many kings?..."

God Bless!

Hello, my name is...

Good morning readers!

On my drive in to the J.O.B. this morning I heard a song by Matthew West, for the first time. It was called "Hello, My Name Is". I was touched by the very powerful message that spoke about how this world assigns us names, but for those of us who are in Christ, we have been given a new name. Those of us who have accepted the FREE gift that Jesus offers us can truly say, "I've been saved, I've been changed' and I have been set free!... my name is child of the One True King!"

What names has this old world assigned to you? What names would you like? Have you been set free?

Think on those things this morning as you read the lyrics below.

God Bless!

Hello, My Name Is

Hello, my name is regret
I’m pretty sure we have met
Every single day of your life
I’m the whisper inside
Won’t let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat
I know you recognize me
Just when you think you can win
I’ll drag you right back down again
‘Til you’ve lost all belief

These are the voices,
these are the lies
And I have believed them,
for the very last time

Hello, my name is child of the one true king
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
Amazing grace is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true king

I am no longer defined
By all the wreckage behind
The one who makes all things new
Has proven it’s true
Just take a look at my life

Hello, my name is child of the one true king
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
Amazing grace is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true king

What a love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called his children
I am a child of the one true King

What a love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called his children

Hello, my name is child of the one true king
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
Amazing grace is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true king

I am a child of the one true king
