Charge and Challenge

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle... The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory" (Psalm 24:7-10).

Lift up your heads at last, O you gates;
And lift up your everlasting doors.
Creation is groaning and anticipates
The King shall come in and its glory restore.

Who is this King of glory proclaimed?
Why should He rule and thus enter in?
He's Jesus, above every name that is named,
Mighty in battle against death and sin.

One day He's coming to reign on this earth.
He's coming again to take sovereign control.
Yet we who now know Him acknowledge His worth,
And even now own Him as Lord of our soul.
