The Weight of His Glory

v1 Troubles and struggles and
Pain and heavy shame
Cast out and put down and
Grief for those who hate
Patience and waiting with
God when times are tough
When we are weak we are
Strong - more than enough
Nothing but nothing surpasses the weight of His glory

V2 Shipwrecks and hardships and
All our suffering
Overt oppression, in-
Grained, such tyrany
God is here, Sees our tears
then we realize ...
Love for another like
us, we empathize
Remember, nothing surpasses the weight of His glory

V3 Sin after sin He took
All our guilt and blame
Lash after lash and the
Scurge of utter pain
Crown of thorns, words of scorn
Nail pierced hands and feet
Justice bleeds, mercy weeps
Hear the angels sing
For all time nothing surpasses the weight of His glory

Bridge:
This side of heaven,
We're here in God's presence,
We will boast in our weakness Christ’s power
Our light affliction
Is with our conviction
In the worth of the weight of His glory

v4 Oh, diagnosis, oh,
Why is this for me?
Why can’t God heal me and
End this suffering?
Yes, Lord, perFect me, oh,
Lord, please have Your way
Make me like Jesus. You
plan, I am but clay
In our lives, nothing surpasses the weight of His glory

v5 Ev’ry tear, all our fears
Will be wiped away
Undeserved hope assures
We shall see a His face
All of life's tri-als will
Will seem to be so dim
When we concider the
Glow reflecting Him:
Love is the reason we live for the weight of His glory

Outro:
When we are broken, we're
open to Jesus - we abide.
