To God Be The Glory

To God be the glory for all He has done,
To send in His mercy His only dear Son,
To be a light in a sin-darkened world,
A banner of love over all unfurled,
Hope for every boy and girl,
To God be the glory

So you got an ‘A’ on your paper today,
To God be the glory!
You scored the winner in your hockey game!
To God be the glory!
You’ve been blessed with many friends,
Enjoying gifts that friendship sends,
You helped a broken heart to mend,
To God be the glory!

So you were baptized last night,
To God be the glory!
You pointed someone t’wards His light,
To God be the glory,
So you forgave an angry word,
Let go of all the pain and hurt,
Crushed cruel gossip into the dirt,
To God be the glory!

You stayed up late to help a weak sister,
To God be the glory,
Though your feet ache and your hands blister,
To God be the glory,
And when you prayed for strength and might
To bear the pain of doing right,
He walked you through the dark of night,
To God be the glory

And to God be the glory for all that I am,
In word and in action may I glorify His name!
For every joy is a gift from you,
And so is every sorrow too,
So in everything I do,
To God be the glory
