SA 44:4{Can I say it? Ought I to say it? Do I say it? Is Jesus in very deed and truth my King? Where is the proof of it? Am I living in His kingdom of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost now? Am I speaking the language of that kingdom? Am I following the customs of the people which are not His people, or do I diligently learn the ways of His people? Am I practically living under the rule of His laws? Have I done heart homage to Him? Am I bravely and honestly upholding His cause, because it is His, not merely because those around me do so? Is my allegiance making any practical difference to my life today? He came Himself to purchase me from my tyrant and His foe; He laid aside His crown and His royal robes, and left His kingly palace, and came down Himself to save a rebel; though He was rich, yet for my sake became poor, that I "through His poverty might be rich." God has called me unto His Kingdom and glory; He hath translated me into the kingdom of the Son of His love; and shall the loyal words falter or fail from my lips, "Thou art my King"?
O Savior, precious Savior, whom yet unseen we love;
O Name of might and favor, all other names above!
We worship Thee, we bless Thee, to Thee alone we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee our holy Lord and King!
