From Dust to Glory

The best days are ahead beyond when we’ve died
Death is not the end of the story
We’ll be suddenly  completely satisfied
When we are changed from dust to glory

 For then in Christ’s likeness we one day awake
And arise to His image conformed
Our glorification complete for Christ’s sake
For His glory we shall be transformed

This prison of clay will be remade anew
We’ll be fitted for eternity
Our hope is fulfilled for His promise is true
And His face with new eyes we will see

Then our deepest desires shall be satisfied 
And with joy we shall be made complete
For to our Sin we will have totally died
In His presence in awe  at His feet

To know as we are known
To bless as we are blessed
And we shall be like Him
This is our trust and test
To love as we are loved
In Him we shall then rest
And we shall be like Him
And we shall be like Him

To stand in your majestic beauty arrayed
With your glorious light then adorned
This then is the promise for which we have prayed
And your children of dust are transformed

To know as we are known
To bless as we are blessed
And we shall be like Him
This is our trust and test
To love as we are loved
In Him we shall then rest
And we shall be like Him
And we shall be like Him
