"Show Me Your Glory" 090808
You've told me to change the world
loving one person at a time
with the kind of kindness you've shown me
and to no longer disown these
whom society has cast to the side
given over to die and rot
who are forgotten and misplaced
with spit in their faces
Go to those places, you say,
dare to make their day,
even with a simple 'hey, how are you can I pray for you' type of love.
Show them their Heavenly Father still hears them from above
and wants to, yearns to, desires to reach out and
heal the land that's been ravaged and torn
This is what you are born for, you say,
Not to be normal according to the standards of that rock you live on
but to BE transformed and molded
into the likeness of Jesus,
the one I sent to be spent on a price He didn't have to pay
so you don't have to say or do anything
in order to make your way back to me
Tell the world the things I speak
in this bleak and diseased land
be my hands and feet.
Okay...okay God I'll go
but first, teach me your way
so I can stay in your favor
and correctly love on my neighbor
with your eyes and your mind
in your will, on your time
I want you, not me, to shine
cuz only you, not me, can bring forth divine power
to shower the city with what is to be your Kingdom
there are billions of people out there, God
only you can bring them home
to show them, blow them away with your
grace and mercy
which is by itself entirely beyond me
so please
guide my hand
help me to stand firm
to learn the servant's heart
in humility and justice
step by step help me to trust this
I need you, Jesus
come be my strength
be the power in my weakness because I'm ready to break
Yes, you say. Yes
Go. My spirit will be near to you
Give you rest when you're spent out
bent out of shape
you will take refuge in my name
in which any and all things hold together
for better or worse
I will be with you whether you feel blessed or at your worst
for you, you who are poor in spirit
yours is the Kingdom of God
to bring forth to the earth what is heavenly
and this truth you shall see, my child,
that less of you will be more of me
YES, Lord
SHOW me your glory!
Have the blind see, Lord
SHOW me your glory!
Raise the dead! Heal the sick!
SHOW me your glory!
Feed the hungry
have anyone among me know that you are holy
SHOW my your glory!
Let your Holy Spirit invade the earth before me
I command it!
with all that I am
These hands are yours
let your glory surge forth
purging the darkness from your children
reclaim this place today
seal me with the confidence
to take pain, endure brokenness
all so that the focus will be on your glory
that's all I wanna see
your glory
all I wanna speak
your glory
wanna feel, confess, and need
your glory...
...because there is nothing like the freedom brought from it
I commit to you my life
I quit mine a long, long time ago
it's yours to use
to tell the world the things you speak
in this bleak and diseased land
let your hands and feet be mine
to let your glory shine
I wanna see it
wanna be in it
face to the floor
or straight up to the sky
show me your glory
let your face from me not hide, Lord
show me your glory...
