Glory to His Holy name

He gave of His life 
so that I could live free 
a benevolent act 
impossible to believe 

and my only response to His brave deeds
Is to praise Him while down on my knees 
I now say this without any shame 
Glory to His Holy name 

the unselfish yielding 
of His personal plans 
His existence orchestrated 
by His Father's mighty hands 

and my only response to His brave deeds 
Is to praise Him while down on my knees 
I now say this without any shame 
Glory to His Holy name 

His humble birth 
and subsequent crucifixion 
was the holistic juxtaposition
of His flesh, the bread most divine 
of His blood, the consecrated wine 
and the sole purpose of Him even living 
was so that my sins would be forgiven 

and my only response to His brave deeds 
Is to praise Him while down on my knees 
I now say this without any shame 
Glory to His Holy name 

I now dedicate my life back to the Anointed one 
Jesus of Nazareth God's only begotten Son
who died so that I could live free 
who gave His life just for me 

and my only response to His brave deeds 
Is to praise Jesus while down on my knees
and I say this again without any shame 
Glory to His Holy name
