Soli Deo Gloria - Inspired
“Soli Deo Gloria*” --- we testify
God Almighty our praises magnify
Midst His mercy and truth that sanctify
Since He by His pardon does purify.
“Glory to God** alone” is our faith’s goal
In ministering with servanthood role
Fulfilling the best along kindness’ pole
Helping build lives, or making someone whole.
God deserves glory for our gratefulness
Thanking His compassionate graciousness
Granting our souls salvation-completeness
Assuring eternal life’s blissfulness.
For the Lord’s glory, we exalt His name
Majestic midst love’s omnipotent fame
Vanquishing hatred of deceitful game
Surmounting selfishness with pride-propped claim.
Giving Christ the glory along trust-flight
Pleases Him in our triumphant delight
Winning bravely over temptation’s fight
Clinging firmly to His mercy and might.
*“Soli Deo gloria” is a Latin term for “Glory to God alone.”
**Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
