Poetry for the Glory of God

God, my Lord, what can we say
We love and adore thee
Be our King, Lord, every day
We love and adore thee

You chose us, we did not choose you
Command us in all we do
We need you, you do not need us
In you, God, is all we trust

Oh, God, my Lord, can I but speak
Your Name without falling down - no
My King, we are helpless and weak
Save us from our fate, from eternal woe

Save us from ourselves, have mercy
You are everything, the perfect being
You are Christ, our eternal King
Save us from what we are, Your Grace please bring

What can I say to give You praise
When You are infinite as you have always been
You are our One, to Thee we raise
Our beings, Lord, though no eye hath ever seen

God, my Lord, we are as clay
Mercy, Christ, from day to day
We are not worthy, this we know
Yet Grace you forever t’wards us show

God, my Lord, what can I say
Let us praise you all our days
