The Rallying Call (2 Chronicles 2:11)
Because you love me Oh Jesus, my King My Rallying Call Hold the line Your word drawn high Breaking dawn Victorious horizon A Kingdom revealed
Because you love me Oh Jesus, my King My rallying call Hold the line Your word drawn high Sin pierced your flesh Love pierced my heart Courage to renew
Because you love me Oh Jesus, my King My rallying call Hold the line Your word drawn high Shape me in your armor Spirit advance Across my lost territory
Because you love me Oh Jesus, my King My rallying call Hold the line Your word drawn high Strength renewed Footholds crumble Strongholds fall in your light

I took inspiration from 2 Chronicles 2:11(ESV), which says:"Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in a letter that he sent to Solomon, "Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you king over them." Skip Heitzig's commentary on this verse Ignited idea for this poem. 'And let's just apply that to our lives. Because God loves you, He put King Jesus over your life. That's how much He loves you. You're a Christian and you're chosen, selected before the foundation of the world for Jesus to be your King, because He loves you. He has made Jesus King over you.' Reflecting on my own life, I realize how often I've tried to make something or someone else my king. Only to end up in this never ending cycle of retreating and losing ground. The Rallying Call, expresses my heart's cry: Because He loves me, Oh Jesus, my King, I can rally and move forward past the strongholds in my life but not by my strength but by his. Contrary to popular portrayals, Jesus is not a weak loving hippie. He is a Victorious King, He's been to the darkest depths we could ever face, meets us there, and offers rescue. All we must do is ask.
