Today\u2019s melody is a fairly new song by a young composer in comparison to some I\u2019ve shared this month. I\u2019ve only known it a short time, and yet, when I hear it, I\u2019m touched by the words and I\u2019m transported back to another time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMAG1492\"<\/a>I learned this song for an Easter drama we were performing at LifeBridge Christian Church. The worship teams and ensemble joined forces to raise the message of Easter. And as Jesus walked into the room, we sang this song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh it was exciting. Now I knew that Jesus really wasn\u2019t walking into the room\u2026in fact the man who performed this role was my neighbor. I knew who he was. So I would suggest that it was the music that drew me closer to the real Jesus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes indeed. As I sang this song, Jesus was my King. Jesus was the One. Jesus was He who came to bring us back to God. And my heart still rejoices each time I hear this song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now you may not care for the style of music as presented in \u201cHere is Our King,\u201d but I would ask that you focus on the words. Do you find hope in these lyrics? Do you find love? Do you find purpose? Do you find redemption? Do you find peace? Do you find a call to grow spiritually? Do you find the return of a prodigal heart? Do you find Jesus? I certainly do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Easter is coming. It won\u2019t be long until we are singing with the multitudes of Jesus resurrection from the dead. Perhaps it is a time for your heart to be resurrected as well. Allow Jesus to penetrate your heart and bring you back from spiritual death. Then you too will join me in singing, \u201cHere is Our King!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHere is Our King\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n

Here is our King, here is our love
\nHere is our God who’s come
\nTo bring us back to Him
\nHe is the One, He is Jesus<\/p>\n

And He is our King, He is our love
\nHe is our God who’s come
\nTo bring us back to Him
\nHe is the One, He is Jesus, Jesus<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From wherever spring arrives to heal the ground
\nFrom wherever searching comes the look itself
\nA trace of what we’re looking for so be quiet now and wait
\nThe ocean is growing, the tide is coming in, here it is<\/p>\n

(chorus)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And what was said to the rose to make it unfold
\nWas said to me, here in my chest so be quiet now and rest
\nSo be quiet now and rest
\nThe ocean is growing, the tide is coming, here it is<\/p>\n

(chorus)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Majesty finally, Majesty finally here[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
