Shai Linne - The Glory of God (Not to Us) lyrics

[Hook] Not to us, not to us But to your name be the glory (x 12) [Verse 1] Let us begin, how should we start? Brightness shining out of the dark It shines in our heart, providing a spark His might incites the light to impart Takes us back to Genesis 1 Angels clapped and hymns they were sung Face the facts, he's second to none In the beginning positioned the sun Up in the sky hovering high The light's too bright, cover your eyes Type of sights that none can devise His righteous knight is lovely and wise It's seen in the stars Seen in the galaxies, Seen in quasars Neptune, Uran*s, and Pluto and Jupiter Mercury, Saturn and Venus and Mars Back to the earth, it shows in the trees Each of the leaves blows in the breeze Locusts and bees, oceans and seas All the result of Jehovah's decrees Observe the way his word creates Preserves and shapes, determines fates Reverberates at urgent rates The earth it shakes with fervent quakes [Pre-Hook] Imagine it I can't explain the half of it Our brains can't even fathom it And language is inadequate To characterize the Lord on the throne With spiritual eyes his story is known From Him & Through Him & To Him is everything Surely to God be the glory alone From Him & Through Him & To Him is everything Surely to God be the glory alone [Hook] [Verse 2] Let us consider the God who is there Possessing a glory that's not to be shared God vs. Anyone – not even fair How could you dare to try to compare The self-existent, self-sufficient Omnipotent, Beneficent Faithful God whose word we can trust Perfectly holy and perfectly just His beauty, there's no end to it Transcendence is infinite Knowledge and wisdom, intricate Steadfast love is intimate We see in his laws, he is the boss Nothing about him is evil or false Pure perfection – zero flaws All of his attributes meet at the cross The place where Jesus Christ was smashed To satisfy God's righteous wrath Rose from the grave on my behalf Through faith in Christ He lights our path Makes believers part of his fam How does a holy God pardon a man? Perhaps even harder to understand: From the beginning was part of his plan [Pre-Hook] [Hook]
