Oh The Glory Of It All

I can look back on times when men wrote hymns, when the Holy Spirit breathed life into worship, when God was worshiped for God. In my generation so often, both in church and outside, we simply sing about ourselves. Truth is replaced by emotion; conviction replaced by subdued apathy. God is often not proclaimed for who He is and what He is done.

Passion, for me, is getting things right. This latest song from David Crowder (available on the album God of This City) has gripped me. It is powerful, it is truth, it is worship.

At the start
he was there, he was there
In the end,
he’ll be there, he’ll be there

And After all our hands have wrought
He forgives

Oh the Glory of it all is:
he came here
For the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
for the glory of it all

All is lost
find him there, find him there
After night
Dawn is there, Dawn is there

After all falls apart
he repairs he repairs

Oh the Glory of it all is:
he came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all

oh he is here
for redemption from the fall
that we may live
for the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all
the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all

After night
comes the light
dawn is here
dawn is here
it’s a new day
it’s a new day
everything will change
things will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same

Oh, The glory of it all is
you came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all

Oh you are here
with redemption for us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
for the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all.
