Growing for His Glory

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake… He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.  The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.  Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 115:1-15).  “Those that seek Me early shall find Me… and I will fill their treasures… Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors.  For whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD” (Proverbs 8:17-35). 

We seek to glorify the Lord

In our appointed time and place. 

That Jesus Christ may be adored,

We would reflect His truth and grace.

Though many would exalt their story

So they may magnify their fame,   

We would increase our Savior’s glory

And grow to glorify His name.

As God allows us to increase

In days enlarging us with power,

May we determine not to cease

To glorify Him every hour.

So let us likewise train our youth

To seek and glorify the Lord,

So they may early find the truth

And treasures in our Savior stored.

The Lord will bless the one who waits

To listen to His still small voice,

Who daily watches at His gates

And in His presence will rejoice.

For all who find Him find His life

And thereby shall obtain His favor,

For even in the midst of strife

We have the peace of Christ our Savior. 

Lord, not to us be glory  now,

But let the glory all be Yours

For grace and truth that You endow

By which You opened heaven’s doors!

O Lord, as You increase our days

And in Your wisdom we have grown,

May we be instruments of praise

That glorify You, Lord, alone.
