For His Glory

by John Davis

We sought for glory in the work of our hands

Only to find our souls demand

A greater glory

Beyond the reach of human might

In Christ alone is the joyful sight

Of greater glory

Our sin produced a life of waste

But the gospel of grace offers a taste

Of future glory

Now empty souls languish no more

But on eagle’s wings rise and soar

For His greater glory

He’s coming back for you and me

Soon heaven and earth will only be

For his greater glory

All nations will come from east and west

Bringing to Jesus their very best

For His greater glory.

There is no need of a temple there

For nothing exists that can compare

To His Greatest glory

Will you be there in that peaceful place

Where His redeemed will see the face

Of His Matchless Glory.

On September 10, 1970 I came to understand the great love of God for me, a sinner and a rebel. That evening I received God’s forgiveness and a new life through Jesus Christ, who died in my place and rose again to offer forgiveness and new life. I have been senior pastor for over 30 years planting two churches in Buckingham, PA and Queens, NY and serving two other churches in Brooklyn, NY and Roslyn, PA. I am currently the lead pastor at Grace Church of Philly.
