the glory of God

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!
