PSALM 45 HIS THRONE IS FOREVER
My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. 2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore, God has blessed you forever.3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one in your splendor and majesty! 4 In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand
teach you awesome deeds! 5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you. 6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; 7you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; 8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; 9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir. – Psalm 45:1-9

MY MOST WONDERFUL KING JESUS! by ILMA
Whenever I think of my King, I cannot contain my amazement
He is like no other, the most fine-looking among the sons of men
Every word that comes out of his lips is so full of wisdom
He is clothed in righteousness, majesty and radiance.
He exudes so much unfathomable love, devotion and grace
Each time he approaches someone, they’ll never be the same
Your throne, my King Jesus will never fail and lasts forever
Uprightness is what your kingdom propagates and live by.
Evil and wickedness on the other hand is your enemy’s domain
You protect all those who serve your sovereignty and power
No other kingdoms can surpass your authority and control
You are the only true and majestic ruler of heaven and earth.
I give you honor and all the glory; I bow down in your presence
I pledge allegiance to you alone my wonderful King Jesus
Clothe me in your righteousness as I vow to serve only you
Give me strength to fight for what is right and what is true.
