glory to God

“I give glory to God.”

What absurd statements we often make…

What glory have we, that the God of Heaven would need to take?

Have I glory in the works of my hands?

Have I made, by my words, distant lands?

I’ve never given orders to the morning. I’ve never shown Dawn its place.

I’ve never cast from clay; humanity… or breathed life into its Race.

What is the way to the abode of Light? And where does darkness reside…?

I often find myself lost in the night, desperately needing a guide.

I give glory to God? What glory do I possess?

My strength to Him is weakness— my folly, His distress.

May He take the glory due to His own Name,

May I tell the story… that he took my blame.

Glory is HIS! His glory I see!

His loving kindness, revealed to me.

GLORY to GOD!
