Glory to Glory

"God spake unto Israel... And He said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.  I will go down with thee... and I will also surely bring thee up again" (Genesis 46:2-4).  "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me... The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me" (Psalm 138:7,8).  "We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18). 

The Lord would make Jacob a nation,

So Israel had nothing to fear. 

According to this declaration,

The purpose of God was made clear. 

The Lord knows His purpose for us

Though we may not see it through pain,

Yet knowing He's faithful, we trust

He's working all things for our gain. 

The purpose of God surely stands

To change us from glory to glory,

For we are the work of His hands,

And He knows the end of our story.

O Lord, we give thanks for Your grace

That daily in us is perfected. 

From glory to glory we trace

The image of Jesus reflected.
