The Glory Is His

Some would say the dye is cast 
Upon the lives of those who have sinned in the past
That nothing will remove the pain
One wonders what there is to gain
In pretending, hiding behind self proclaim righteousness
Which all can see is but mere selfishness 
But even the stain of this what has been 
Will no longer be seen

For He who redeemed us to live righteous and free
Burns with jealousy He will not let us be
Until the day we kneel down 
For Him to place His crown
Upon our heads declaring us heirs to the throne
In this day then it will be known
He cannot be dismissed
The Glory is His.
