Gladness and Glory of God

"My son, be wise, and make My heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth Me" (Proverbs 27:11).  "Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).

This is the principle, simple and true,

That always will guide us aright:

Make the Lord glad and His glory pursue,

And shine before others His light.

This is purpose and goal that we need

To sort out the good and the bad.

Hear now the Lord with His child now plead:

"Be wise" now, "and make My heart glad!"

How shall we answer?  Should we hesitate

In view to our Father's request?

Let us not waiver or procrastinate

To do what He shows us is best!

Whatever we do, our priority one

Should be to give glory to God.

Let's seek for His gladness and for His "Well done!"

Regard not if others applaud.

Receive, Lord, the gladness and glory

You rightly deserve from Your own 

As we are recounting the story

Of love for the lost You have shown.
