The Hope of Your glory

A new heart-song inspired by God in the past week, whilst I was in one of those "pit-stops":


The Love...that cried out upon a cross
The Love...faith in whom gives me peace
I could count all my earthly gain as loss
for the surpassing worth
of knowing You, my Love...
I need to know You

The Love...whose voice stirs my heart
The Love... from whom I can't live apart
Can there be healing without a wound?
Yet You were pierced...
so I could be whole,
and found in You, my Love

The mystery of God
revealed in Word made flesh
...in a poetry of Love
where eternal life was won in death...

Jesus, 
Keep my eyes on You...
Keep my heart tender
that I may yet tremble
in the wonder of knowing 
Your Love...
Help my unbelief
Help me to receive
Your Love
that I may know 
the hope of Your glory,
my Lord.... Jesus

In the moment of need, a chance to know
To know my God's power to seize the day
In trials and despair,
when I'm tempted to run away
Lord, give me the strength to stay...

Sometimes... I won't understand
Sometimes... I won't appreciate
When my heart is grieved and my spirit bitter,
senseless I protest
Let go not of my hand...

The mystery of God
revealed in Word made flesh
...in a poetry of Love
where eternal life was won in death...

 Jesus, 
Keep my eyes on You...
Keep my heart tender
that I may yet tremble
in the wonder of knowing 
Your Love...
Help my unbelief
Help me to receive
Your Love
that I may know 
the hope of Your glory,
my Lord... Jesus

And the moment I choose
these battles to face
is the moment I taste
Your overflowing grace
My flesh and my heart may fail
but You're my strength
and my portion
forever...

Jesus, 
Keep my eyes on You...
Keep my heart tender
that I may yet tremble
in the wonder of knowing 
Your Love...
Help my unbelief
Help me to receive
Your Love
that I may know 
the hope of Your glory,
my Lord...
Jesus
