My hope

I have the privilege to sing with Steve Green on July 26 at Judson Baptist Church. An ensemble will accompany him on some songs. Steve Green has been a favorite singer of mine for many years. Sandi Patti and Steve Green tapes (yes, tapes) were always playing in my bedroom. My poor family had to listen to me attempt Sandi's high notes. They liked it much better when I stuck with Steve.

One of the song we will sing is from his newer album Always: Songs of Worship. Here are the lyrics to the song. Along with the melody, this song draws you into a worshipful attitude. This song describes where my hope lies, what my future holds.

Glory

One day eyes that are blind will see You clearly
And one day all who deny will finally believe
One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces
And one day chains once unbroken will fall down at Your feet
So we wait for that one day come quickly

We want to see Your Glory
Every knee falls down before Thee
Every tongue offers You praise
With every hand raised
Singing Glory
To You and unto You only
We'll sing Glory to Your name

One day voices that lie will all be silent
One day all that's divided will be whole again
One day death will retreat and wave it's white flag
One day love will defeat the strongest enemy
So we wait for that one day come quickly

We know not the day or the hour
Or the moments in between
But we know the end of the story
When we'll see

Your Glory Every knee falls down before thee
Every tongue offers You praise
With every hand raised
Singing Glory
To You and unto You only
We'll sing Glory to Your name

Another song will great lyrics:

Majesty (Here I Am)

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in Your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that You give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm Your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire
