The Glory of God

Chorus:

Not to us, not to us

But to Your name be the glory!

(repeat)

Verse 1

Let us begin: How should we start'

Brightness shining out of the dark

It shines in our hearts, providing a spark

His might incites the light to impart

Takes us back to Genesis 1

Angels clapped, and hymns- they were sung

Face the facts- He's second to none

In the beginning positioned the sun

Up in the sky, hovering high

The light's too bright, cover your eyes

Type of sights that none can devise

This Righteous Knight is lovely and wise

It's seen in the stars

Seen in the galaxies, seen in quasars

Neptune, Uranus and Pluto and Jupiter

Mercury, Saturn and Venus and Mars

Back to the earth, it shows in the trees

Each of the leaves blows in the breeze

Locusts and bees, ocean and seas

All the result of Jehovah's decrees

Observe the way His Word creates

Preserves and shapes, determines fates

Reverberates at urgent rates

The earth- it shakes with fervent quakes!

Imagine it

I can't explain the half of it

Our brains can't even fathom it

And language is inadequate

To characterize the Lord on the throne

With spiritual eyes, His story is known

From Him and through Him and to Him is everything

Surely to God be the glory alone!

Chorus:

Not to us, not to us

But to Your name be the glory!

(repeat)

Verse 2

Let us consider the God who is there

Possessing a glory that's not to be shared

God versus anyone- not even fair

How could you dare to try to compare

The Self-existent, Self-sufficient

Omnipotent, Beneficent

Faithful God whose Word we can trust

Perfectly Holy and perfectly just

His beauty, there's no end to it

Transcendence is infinite

Knowledge and wisdom- intricate

Steadfast love is intimate

We see in His laws- He is the Boss

Nothing about Him is evil or false

Pure perfection, zero flaws

All of His attributes meet at the cross!

The place where Jesus Christ was smashed

To satisfy God's righteous wrath

Rose from the grave on my behalf

Through faith in Christ, He lights our path

Makes believers part of His fam

How does a Holy God pardon a man'

Perhaps even harder to understand:

From the beginning was part of His plan!

Imagine it

I can't explain the half of it

Our brains can't even fathom it

And language is inadequate

To characterize the Lord on the throne

With spiritual eyes, His story is known

From Him and through Him and to Him is everything

Surely to God be the glory alone!

Chorus

Not to us, not to us

But to Your name be the glory!

(repeat)
