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
