Glory In True Service

To serve the Lord, In truth and awe To reverence him, With all our hearts And when we yield Then he’ll concede Tho some might say, His ways are hard And his yoke heavy He made it so, That we may know, That He alone is Lord But is that really so? No, His yoke is light And easy to bear But to taste his goodness in full There’s a price to pay Cos our God isn’t just cheap It might not be really straight, But somehow you’ll get there Cos if it were made so We wouldn’t know The worth of his grace But when we really stand for him And painstakingly hold on, However tough it seems, We’ll see at the end, That all He’s doing, Is really for our good And just in our best interest For He already affirmed, “Just like the heavens are higher than the earth So are my ways higher than yours And my thoughts greater than yours” “Before I formed you in the belly I knew you And already sanctified you” I breathed life in you, And moulded you, The works which I have started, I’ll bring to a fruitful completion I have your love at heart Was why I called you And just so I (me) know, The lord is faithful And all deserving Don’t know ‘bout you
