Glory

This world is filled with glory
Amazing wonders show
Not all will grasp the story
Or say that they will know.

We see a bubbling river
And glorious hills abound
The blackbird will deliver
Liquidity of sound.

Dark clouds will show their portent
Great storms will crash the land
Glory in darkest content
Will show a mighty hand.

The darkest day in history
The Man upon a Tree
A day of greatest mystery
The Man who died for me.

God's beauty then was shining
On that most evil day
The deepest dark defining
The glory on display.

Both men and angels seeing
The power of Love and Grace
The captives He was freeing
God's glory in His face.
