With Easter just a few days away, I am finding myself in humble awe that He did this for me ~ It is so true that the more I know of Him, the bigger He gets ~ as is written in a conversation I wrote about in Held By Him, between Aslan and Lucy in Prince Caspian
"Aslan, you are bigger"
"That is because you are older, little one"
"Not because you are?"
"I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger"
This Easter I am just sitting at His feet, worshipping Him for His love and sacrifice for me. He is the King of Kings ~ and, He is My King!
Below are the words from a video clip called That's MY King! (If you also subscribe to Held By Him, I am sorry for the repeat here, I just want everyone to see this!!!) As a family we have watched this multiple times, and, now my children have been walking around doing chores and playing Play Station calling out "Now, That's MY King!" ~ let me tell you, that means the absolute world to me!
This would be a beautiful video to play today as we remember Christ washing feet and having Communion with His disciples, Friday as we focus on His Sacrifice, Saturday as we wait for His Resurrection Day, and especially Sunday as we praise the miracle of Easter and the gift of His grace and forgiveness.
And, of course, we gotta include this part of our faith and story in our albums, so, here are just a few ideas you can use the clip to create more legacybooking pages ~
- Print off the words and put them in your album as you journal which is your favorite phrase (mine is "He had no predecessor and He'll have no successor. There was nobody before Him and there'll be nobody after Him. You can't impeach Him and He's not going to resign!!" ~ AMEN!!)
- As you spend time with family and friends this week, play the video, or read the words and ask them which words touch them the most ~ record these answers along with the pictures from the weekend
- Create a blank page with stickers or perhaps your favorite Easter scripture, bring a few markers, and, let everyone at the Easter celebrations record, in their own handwriting, what Easter and the resurection means to them, or, have the word to That's MY King available for them to copy a line or two and comment. (Don't forget to take pictures). Answers in their writing would be a precious treasure for years to come!
Happy Easter to each of you ~ this is the day we base our faith on, so, worship and love Him as your King!

That's MY King by S.M. Lockridge
My King was born King.
The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King.
He’s the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King.
He’s the King of Israel - that’s a National King.
He’s the King of righteousness.
He’s the King of the ages.
He’s the King of Heaven.
He’s the King of glory.
He’s the King of kings and
He is the Lord of lords.
Now that’s my King.
Well I wonder if you know Him.
Do you know Him?
Don’t try to mislead me. Do you know my King?
David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament show His handiwork.
My King is the only one whom there are no means of measure can define His limitless love.
No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore of supplies.
No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing.
Well, well,
He’s enduringly strong.
He’s entirely sincere.
He’s eternally steadfast.
He’s immortally graceful.
He’s imperially powerful.
He’s impartially merciful.
That’s my King.
He’s God’s Son.
He’s the sinner’s saviour.
He’s the centrepiece of civilization.
He stands alone in Himself.
He’s august.
He’s unique.
He’s unparalleled.
He’s unprecedented.
He’s supreme.
He’s pre-eminent.
Well,
He’s the loftiest idea in literature.
He’s the highest personality in philosophy.
He’s the supreme problem in high criticism.
He’s the fundamental doctrine of proved theology.
He’s the carnal necessity of spiritual religion.
That’s my King.
He’s the miracle of the age.
He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him.
He’s the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously.
He supplies strength for the weak.
He’s available for the tempted and the tried.
He sympathizes and He saves.
He’s strong God and He guides.
He heals the sick.
He cleanses the lepers.
He forgives sinners.
He discharged debtors.
He delivers the captives.
He defends the feeble.
He blesses the young.
He serves the unfortunate.
He regards the aged.
He rewards the diligent and,
He beautifies the meek.
Do you know Him?
Well, my King is the key of knowledge.
He’s the wellspring of wisdom.
He’s the doorway of deliverance.
He’s the pathway of peace.
He’s the roadway of righteousness.
He’s the highway of holiness.
He’s the gateway of glory.
He’s the master of the mighty.
He’s the captain of the conquerors.
He’s the head of the heroes.
He’s the leader of the legislatures.
He’s the overseer of the overcomers.
He’s the governor of governors.
He’s the prince of princes.
He’s the King of kings, and
He’s the Lord of lords.
That’s my King. Yeah. Yeah.
That’s my King. My King, yeah.
His office is manifold.
His promise is sure.
His light is matchless.
His goodness is limitless.
His mercy is everlasting.
His love never changes.
His Word is enough.
His grace is sufficient.
His reign is righteous.
His yoke is easy, and
His burden is light.
Well. I wish I could describe Him to you, but He’s indescribable.
He’s indescribable. Yes.
He’s incomprehensible.
He’s invincible.
He’s irresistible.
I’m coming to tell you, the heavens of heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explaining Him.
You can’t get Him out of your mind.
You can’t get Him off of your hands.
You can’t outlive Him and
you can’t live without Him.
Well,
Pharisees couldn’t stand Him,
but they found out they couldn’t stop Him.
Pilot couldn’t find any fault in Him.
The witnesses couldn’t get their testimonies to agree.
Herod couldn’t kill Him.
Death couldn’t handle Him, and
the grave couldn’t hold Him.
That’s my King. Yeah.
He always has been and He always will be.
I’m talking about
He had no predecessor and
He’ll have no successor.
There was nobody before Him and
there’ll be nobody after Him.
You can’t impeach Him and
He’s not going to resign.
That’s my King! That’s my King!
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory.
The glory is all His.
Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever.
How long is that? And ever and ever and ever and ever.
And when you get through with all of the evers, then, Amen.
~ Dr. S. M. Lockridge
