Our Good Is His Glory

Our Good Is His Glory Gods glory is our good

This mysterious paradox- It must be understood

The Father deems to bless us With a most peculiar wealth

He gives us all things freely But more- He gives himself.

When blessings pour out on us, It pleased Him to provide

As we receive His grace-gifts Our souls are satisfied

His children cast upon him Their every care and need

It pleases Him to love us And our hungry hearts to feed

So as we live and as we move And find our being in Him we prove

That he is worthy of our trust Who fashions diamonds from our dust.

Of the Most High we partake This privilege for His name's sake

The Lord God is most glorified When in Him we're most satisfied!

He transforms us to glory The likeness of his Son

Till one day we will be like Him When every deed is done

But now as image bearers We seek to glorify

The One who works within us- He'll complete us bye and bye

God's will is working in us to will and do it all

As we learn to walk worthy of the calling to which were called

So We work out what He works in And conform and to obey

The purposes He's willed for us-Until that glorious day

Bridge:

Though He absolutely has no need it pleases Him our souls to feed

So as we live and as we move and find our being in Him we prove

That He is worthy of our trust Who fashions diamonds from our dust.

Of the Most High we partake This privilege is for His name's sake

The Lord God is most glorified When in Him we're most satisfied!
