Why I Went To Church Today

Psalms 122:1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD."

It is more than right for me as a follower of Christ and it is more than good for me today. That is why I am glad to be in church with my friends this morning.

122:2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Together we will stand be it triumph or trial.

122:3 Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.

If together we stand with the Lord between us, what could then come against us that we could not stand against.

122:6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.

The city today for me is this church I attend and am a part of. As the circle goes outward it embraces all whom I am a part of followed by the mystical Church of Christ His Bride.

Pray for that peace, and pray that all those connections prosper in that peace.

122:7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.

It is inside these walls, built of my friends, that I find peace.

122:8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "May you have peace."

For the sake of those that know you Lord, I will keep on, that they may keep on.

For the sake of those that do not yet know you, I will pray they find their peace in You.

122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

For the sake of my local church, I will seek what is best for You My God.

The best for You Lord is the best for me.

That is why I went to church today.

One Good King

Just ONE good King,

is all that we ask,

to rule o’er us.


He’ll carry the banner,

and take all the heat.

Protect us in trial,

never knowing defeat.

Give us today our REAL daily bread.


But,

look how often,

WE have us OUR king,

Look in the mirror,

beholding that king!

Who does not serve,

But only his needs.

He’s of trifling power,

Full of injustice and weak.

How quickly his feet,

do run to do evil.


So, crack the mirror!

Break the glass!

and offer his throne

to the One true King.

Seek His justice!

Cry out for mercy!

Make the Christ,

Your one true King.


Just ONE good King,

is all that we ask.
