Glory


The understanding of your worth is
knowledge vastly higher than mine.

To see and to know,
to experience and feel,
to realize the full depth
should cause me to kneel.
At the foot of the throne,
all because of the cross
where you made me your own
and all things became loss.

To see the glory
and the renown of your name
the full splendor of your majesty
and your unmatchable fame;
These things in their essence
should consume me to the core,
direct the course of my life
for it is you that I live for.

And yet in my weakness
as I continually fall
your Spirit surrounds me
(as he desires to surround all).
And then in the darkness
where I so often fall apart,
I experience your presence
and the power of the spark.

See what you have done,
in this wicked heart of mine?
You have reveled to me your glory,
and made this heart more like thine.
