1st Peter 5:11. "To him be glory and dominion for ever and for ever, Amen.” TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION. The devil tried to have his way – to claim authority But standing steadfast in the faith are God’s people living victoriously From voices raised in heart-felt praise their song ascends to God
“To Him be glory and dominion – Jesus Christ is Lord!”
From angel bands and distant lands there comes this song of praise And from prison cells some voices join as the redeemed of the Lord do raise Their words and thoughts to honor God from scenes in the dark of night “To Him be glory and dominion – In Christ is purest light!”
Children sing as they too bring with sounds so sweet that swell The chorus of the young to link with those who want to tell The world above and here below the glories of God’s grace – “To Him be glory and dominion – Our Lord is, O so great!”
In quiet times of worship or when thousands join to sing – Where those upon sick beds and those laboring hard to bring Their praise and worship to the Lord in spirit and in truth – “To Him be glory and dominion – Let praise for Him go forth!”
Sometimes it seems like there are so few, that praises go unnoticed But then I stop to reconsider – everywhere these words are quoted God is exalted, Christ is honored, the Spirit has His way – “To Him be glory and dominion – Christ reigns eternally!”
“O God of glory and victory: to Thee I give my voices and words; my body and my spirit; my strengths and labors; my thoughts and intentions; any lessons learned and those yet to learn – that in some little way, the Lord Jesus Christ may be honored forever. Amen.”
