King of Kings


I have built a kingdom and it is falling. 
I can hear the Angels in Heaven calling, my name the are calling.

For I am a king the ruler of everything as far as the eye can see. My castle walls have begun to tumble to the ground.  I have no more kingdom; I have no more crown.

I had fought long and hard to build my castle, my kingdom.  Towards the very end of my life, I became very greedy and wanted everything that my precious wealth could buy.

I soon began to lose my lifetime friends.I lost all of my once faithful and loyal servants.  Most importantly to me my kingdom.  All of this I lost because I had become so greedy. 

I, the king of now nothing once had all that I needed.  I lost my friends, family, and what I thought was the most important to me, I lost my kingdom.

I had become very greedy in life and bought everything that I could see from my castle windows so high above the earth's floors. I began to think to myself, I am the king, and I can't stop at what only the human eye can see. I am the king, and I want to own everything.

I had decided that if I could not buy it with gold and silver. Then I would take it by force.  That's when all of my troubles began. Soon after I began to lose my sanity and all of my friends.  I lost all of my loyal servants, and my family.  I lost the one thing that was most important to me, my kingdom.

My kingdom has fallen and I have lost everything.  My name the Angels of Heaven are now calling.  I once thought that everything that I owned would always be mine. Even in to eternity, or at least until the end of time. 

It is true that a man can have everything that he wants, but no matter how hard that he tries, there is no way on earth that he can take it with him when he dies.

There is only room for one Kingdom in Heaven.  There can only be one King to rule over the Kingdom beyond the sky.  God's Kingdom will last forever. God's Kingdom will never crumble and fall to the ground. God is not a greedy King, but he is a very jealous God.  I have now realized that I was wrong.

      For my sins I have lost everything. 

I have since perished. I have gone to meet my Creator in the Heavens. I have entered into that Kingdom beyond the sky.  Not my own kingdom, but Gods Kingdom. My God has forgiven me of all my sins.

God has forgiven me of my wrongful ways. He has forgiven a sinner as myself. Through His Love and mercy God has shown to me why he is the true King of kings.

I was once a mighty king. I had everything and so much more then I could ever need. I lost all of this in life because I had become so selfish with greed.

The Kingdom that I live in now is more beautiful then the one I have left on earth.  Yes, God has forgiven me of my earthly sins.  Into his heart and Kingdom He has taken me in.

I now sit at Gods table.  I am one of the chosen. God is now my King; I am one of His loyal servants.  God has forgiven me of my selfish greed.  I have been forgiven of egocentricity and my wrongful deeds.

I have lost what I once thought was the most important thing to me. My earthly kingdom. 
I thought that I had lost everything. Instead of losing I have truly gained more then I will ever need. 

There is only room in heaven for one king. At Gods service I will always heed. I know now that God is truly the King of all kings.
