The word glory is mentioned at least 119 times in the New Testament.
It comes as no surprise that most of these references use the language of Christ’s glory, Christ’s second coming, or the glory of Heaven. Glory is such a beautiful word, literally! One of Webster’s definitions says “great beauty and splendor…resplendent.” My Dad’s working definition of God’s glory is: “Everything He is and everything He does.” In terms of Christ’s second coming, I am thrilled with the anticipation of everything we will see. Finally, we will know the things that right now we only accept through faith. What a day, glorious day, that will be.
One day eyes that are blind will see you clearly
And one day all who deny will finally believe
One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces
And one day chains once unbroken will fall down at your feet
So we wait for that one day come quickly your Glory…
We want to see your Glory
Every knee falls down before thee
Every tongue offers you praise
With every hand raised
Singing Glory
To you and unto you only
We’ll sing Glory to Your name
One day voices that lie will all be silent
One day all that’s divided will be whole again
One day death will retreat and wave it’s white flag
One day love will defeat the strongest enemy
So we wait for that one day come quickly
We know not the day or the hour
Or the moments in between
But we know the end of the story
When we’ll see
(Glory performed by Nichole Nordeman)
