To God Be The Glory ~

Lord, I want to bring You glory,
I want to do right by You . . .
I want the light of Your salvation
in my life to shine brightly through.

I want to be the salt,
the flavor of Your grace
I want my soul to reflect
the wonder of Your face.

I want to move mountains,
to part the ocean wave
I want to be Your soldier
for You, Your Gospel slave.

I want to taste Your manna,
sip the nectar of Your vine
I want to be Your branch
I want our lives to intertwine.

I want to be Your vessel,
the clay upon Your wheel
I want to see Your image,
to know Your godly will.

Lord, I want to bring You glory,
I want to sing Your praise . . .
I want the world to know
that for You, my heart’s ablaze!

Isaiah 60:1-2
King James Version

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the
Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory
shall be seen upon thee.”

Light Bearers ~

Bible preachers, mercy teachers,
sharing with all the Good News
heart keepers, soul reapers
follow the footprints of His shoes.

Love producers, peace makers,
helping all those who are in need
grace imparters, faith informers
looking for His lost sheep to feed.

Salt shakers, ice breakers,
paving the way with His saving light
God seekers, Jesus searchers
exposing the good and faithful fight.

Sin stoppers, temptation busters,
keeping those from the pit of hell
favor dealers, heaven takers
with salvation’s love story to tell.

Light bearers, problem sharers,
coming together in healing prayer
truth holders, His soldiers
confessing Jesus, because we dare!

Philippians 2:15
King James Version

“That ye may be blameless
and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke, in the midst of
a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights
in the world.”
