All Glory

The music for this came to me pretty much "as is" while I was playing during communion in our church service. I wrote several sets of lyrics, none of which really fit the majesty of the song. A few months later, I got food poisoning from some bad egg foo yung at a Chinese buffet. I couldn’t eat for a week. Being too weak to do much of anything, I was lying in bed, considering the scene in heaven described in Revelation 4 & 5. Suddenly everything seemed to flow into the song, as I meditated on the glorious vision of all creation bowing before the throne of Heaven.

Lyrics:

To Him who reigns upon the throne and to the Lamb

To the true and faithful King

Who created everything

To the glorious Son of God and Son of Man

Who gave His body and His blood

To take away the sins of all the world

All creation bows before You now

All glory and honor and praise

Jesus, You are worthy

All power and wisdom and strength

Jesus, all the glory belongs to Your name
