The Gospel of the Glory of Christ

When we see the face of Christ,

we see the face of God.

And we see the glory of the face of Christ,

when we hear the story our souls are awed

At the gospel of his death and resurrection.

The surety of our reconciliation-

In the gospel of the glory of Christ,

who is the image of God.

At the cross he made himself nothing

Laid down his life and despised not the shame

To the glory of the Father

Things in heaven and on earth now lift up His name

And may he grant your desire,

To lift Him higher and higher

Through the gospel of the glory of Christ,

who is the image of God.

Bridge

So I will marvel at mercy

The imperishable power of grace

Doing his will in his way as he leads

Until one day I will see His face.

He entered into the grave that day

Made himself nothing  to serve

To become a propitiation

An atonement that we can’t deserve

Yet by his wounds we all are healed

Who have been by the Spirit sealed

By the gospel of the glory of Christ,

Who is the image of God.
