This is a song I wrote a little over a year ago, and it seemed like a fairly fitting way to begin a study of praise and worship. This song was birthed out of a time of mingled worship and conviction. One day during the summer semester of Ellerslie in 2010, Eric Ludy read worshipfully through a list he had compiled of the Names of God. As I sat there reading along with the others, my heart was drawn to deeper adoration than perhaps ever before, but at the same time I was convicted thinking of the way that all of creation and nature has continued to declare the glory of God, while so often His people--who were created to sing His praise even louder--fail to give Him the glory due His Name. During that time of worship, the cry of my heart became for my King to gain the glory He deserves in and through His people's lives, starting with mine.
To Sing Glory
For too long, we have let nature sing louder than us
Of Your power and Your wisdom, Your majesty and Your praise.
Now it's time for Your Bride to rise and take her place
And sing the song You deserve to tell of Your matchless grace.
We were created to sing glory.
We were made to adore You, to sing glory.
Glory...Glory...Glory.
We will sing of Your glory, Your power in the earth.
We'll proclaim all Your gospel. We'll sing 'til all have heard.
We will stand on Your Truth and the promise of Your Word.
We won't wait any longer to sing of Your matchless worth.
We were created to sing glory.
We were made to adore You, to sing glory.
Glory...Glory...Glory.
We were created to sing glory.
We were made for this, our purpose--to glorify our King.
May our lives live up to their true purpose,
Not with words alone to sing Your glory.
We were created to sing glory.
We were made to adore You, to sing glory.
Glory...Glory...Glory...
