The Weight of Glory

Oh the glory set before your eye
Is a heavy weight and a means to fly
It sheds a grace that cannot be ignored
O’ertakes us with raging love that is love’s reward.

Upon your word and will we wait
Lord make us to bear your glory’s weight.
Upon your word and will we wait
Lord make us to bear your glory’s weight.

Living to die and dying to live
We stand or fall by the power to forgive
So in your power we participate
Make us to bear your glory’s weight.

A furious and ferocious fire
A devastating draught of desire
Lord let it consume our haughty heart
There is no power that can tear us apart.

Fashion a fortress of forgiveness divine
And set us in a tower of your power’s design
We persevere , prevail and participate
As you make us bear your glory’s weight.
