My Psalm 166 tells the story of Jesus: Fulfillment of prophecy, miraculous birth, life as servant king, His sacrifice, resurrection, ascension, sending the Comforter, the task of the church, His return, His reign, our hope as we wait.
My Psalm 166
Predicted Messiah/ Son of God, Son of Man/ Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords,/From Paradise came.
A manger Your bed/ Face scratched by the straw/ That same brow a crown/ Of fierce thorns You would wear.
Man of sorrows, servant-king/ Among men, You were born/ Acquainted with grief/ In humility scorned.
You’d wander the earth,/ No home, no abode/ Showing God’s ways/ His Nature, His love.
Though sinless, You died/ On stark Calvary’s tree/ Salvation’s atonement/ Redemption You’d be.
Death could not hold you,/ Resurrection occurred/ By God’s plan then, Ascended/ To Heaven’s home you returned.
Our great intercessor,/ You sit on the throne/ Rightful place, near the Father,/ King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
But, You left us with treasure/ On that Pentecost day/ Rich Comforter and Guide,/ Holy Spirit, You stayed.
Now the task set before us/ To tell the whole world/ Your marvelous story/ Before Your return.
We’ll baptize and teach/ Every nation and tribe/ Emmanuel with us/ Our faith to describe.
And when time is finished/ You’ll come back again/ We plead, “Maranatha,/ Hallelujah, Amen.”
You’ll open the Scrolls,/ You are Worthy, O Lord,/ All nations will bow/ Worshipping You in one accord.
We’ll give power and glory/ And praise to the King/ Forever, eternally,/ “Holy, Holy” We’ll sing!
‘Til then, Holy Spirit,/ Empower our souls/ To rest in Your guidance/ Under Your control.
To bless us and keep us/ And guide us each day/ To focus on Jesus/ In what we do and say. Amen.
