Monday’s in April are always challenging because Monday’s are the day I write about music, but the song must fit in with the daily letter. There are songs out there with single word titles and many more with the first word of the song title beginning with the letter “c.” So I’ve chosen a piece of music that begins with the word “Christ.”

I love this particular song because of the message. Regardless of what is going on in this world or in the heavenly realms, Christ is still the King. His power cannot be shaken. His truth will never fail. The Word still has the answers. And I could go on, or I could let you read the lyrics for yourself.

While we may be able to say all of these things listed in the song, what I want to ask is, “Is Christ the King of your life?” “Have you allowed Jesus to set up Lordship over your heart, soul, mind and strength?” “Do you just say the words or have they transformed your life?”

If you struggle with this today, take note of Peter’s words from 2 Peter 1:2-3 (NIV) and see if you can find encouragement and the courage you need to make these statements with boldness and assurance.

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.”

As you read through these lyrics and listen to this powerful message, I pray that you will recall the power that God has given to you through Christ Jesus.

I am praying for you today!

“Christ is Still the King”[i]

Earth may have its kingdoms,
Hell may wage its wars,
But, they can never hinder
The power of the Lord.
He will not be shaken.
His truth will never fail,
Rest in the assurance
That Jesus will prevail.

Chorus
The Word still has the answers,
The blood alone still saves.
God is still our refuge,
And the Gospel still remains.
Souls can still be rescued,
For mercy still redeems,
Rejoice! the tomb’s still empty,
And Christ is still the King!

Never be discouraged
Or let your heart forget
There is hope and vict’ry,
For Jesus conquered death.
He’ll return in power,
But ‘til that glorious day
Lift His banner higher.
Stand strong, and keep the faith.

(Chorus)

Bridge
Unchanging and unmoving,
Sov’reign and supreme,
Our hope and our salvation,
We still declare, we still believe….

(Chorus)
