Today... 'Glory' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Glory'

Rating: 5.0


Images or idols can never replace
our great God of wondrous Glory and Grace.
How can we forget the Lord of Heaven
Who suffered that we might be forgiven?

Come, join now with me in singing His praise
and let us our heavenly anthem raise
with such harmony of worship and of love
to our Glorious Lord Who reigns above.

Glory and all Glory everlasting be
To Christ Jesus Who gave His life for me.
I sing praise to my Lord of Glory
as I tell salvations wondrous story.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Psalm 106: 20-21
They exchanged their Glory
       for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
They forgot the God who saved them,
       who had done great things in Egypt,


All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Glory'

Hymn
GLORY, glory everlasting
Be to Him who bore the cross,
Who redeemed our souls by tasting
Death, the death deserved by us.
Spread His glory,
Who redeemed His people thus!

His is love, 'tis love unbounded,
Without measure, without end;
Human thought is here confounded,
'Tis too vast to comprehend.
Praise the Saviour!
Magnify the sinner's Friend!

By Thomas Kelly (1769-1855)
