Come, King Jesus

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan ©2007 Shepherd's Heart Music, Inc.

Verse
When will You come?
When will I see?
How will I know Your glory?
You are my King!
I will bow down!
Your Kingdom come!
Come in me now!

Chorus
Come, King Jesus!
Bring Your Kingdom!
Scatter darkness with Your majesty!
Come, King Jesus!
Reign in freedom!
Reign in power!
And let Your Kingdom come in me!

Verse Two
You are my King,
So reign over me!

Fill me with pow'r and glory!
Pierce ev'ry darkness
And set captives free!
Lead on, O King,
Beginning in me!

Bridge
The King is coming
On a horse of white!
He will reign in power!
He will reign in might!
Jesus come! Jesus come!
Jesus come!
Let Your Kingdom come!
The King is coming!
Let His church rise up!
Let us declare to the darkness
We have had enough!
Jesus come! Jesus come!
Jesus come!
Let Your Kingdom come!

"...Lead on, Oh King, beginning in me!..." 

Today we are going to meditate on just one phrase. Meditation is simply focusing our minds on one thought for a period of time. A great illustration of meditation is this: a cow has one stomach with 4 digestive compartments. As the cow eats a mouthful of grass, it swallows that food. After a period of digestion, it then regurgitates that partially digested grass into its mouth where it chews it more. This regurgitated food is called cud. A cow chews its cud in order to extract all the nutrients possible from that food. That is what meditation on God's Word and nature is like. We think on one thought concerning His Word or nature and we allow the Holy Spirit to show us things we've never seen or thought of before concerning that which we meditate on. Today, let's focus on Jesus as King and what His kingdom coming in our thought life should look like. Here's a hint on helping you along with your meditation: to seek the coming of His kingdom we must seek the King. 

...seek first His kingdom and His righteousness...

Matthew 6:33 NASB
