Glory In Goodness
Why Lord are there so many who proclaim Your liberty
Who stumble in the darkness of their own iniquity
Who speak of serving Jesus with their body soul and mind
But have no living evidence a hurting soul can find
Who needs and wants so desperately the message from the King
Who gave His all on Calvary to give us everything
We did not will not can't deserve but comes to us by grace
When we on bended knee pursue the glory from His face
That glory that is goodness that alone from Him is seen
When He through love accepts us all no matter where we've been
As long as we set all aside that might get in the way
Of our communication with the Father each and every day
That glory that is goodness that seeks out another's need
And willingly with wisdom gives the thing for which they plead
When timing is appropriate and everything's in place
To help them realize the most of what has come by grace
That glory that is goodness that can see beyond the veil
The pain that hides within us that our lips are want to tell
But fear mixed with confusion keeps us silent everyday
From sharing with the only One Who hears what we don't say
But wants us to speak all to Him both good and bad as well
That we might understand the more how much of all we tell
To Him has great significance if it gets in the way
Of helping us receive the gifts He offers us each day
That tell us of His goodness from the pardon of our sin
That helps us by His mystery of grace to start again
With nothing held against us from the failings of our past
When all we are and hope to be are laid on Him at last
And used by Him to fashion us to what we need to be
As soldiers in His army to defeat the enemy
By reaching out in love to those who long to hear His voice
And know that they can come to Him and have His grace by choice
Because they see the evidence lived out in those who pray
And live their faith before them through the things they do and say
That speak and show God's goodness through the glory that they see
In those who Know the Saviour and reveal Him perfectly
Exodus 33:17-23; 1 John 3:1-3; Hebrews 1:1-4
