The King of Glory

I think I shall never sing
A sincere song that will thrill the king,

A king whose love fills the earth
Where he mould men whom he gave His breath.

I think I shall never know
The secret that makes seeds into trees grow

The secret known from the beginning
By Him who gave birds and fouls wings for flying

I think I shall never see
The glory of Him who has power to set free,

He set me free from myself
So I won’t be like a book that’s left the shelf.
