Three Verses of Praise
I am humbled, dear Lord
by my illness and by my sin.
But most of all I am humbled
by Your glory.
by my illness and by my sin.
But most of all I am humbled
by Your glory.
Your glory
is like a great sunburst
over the ocean.
Bright orange light
is reflected on the water;
it's a double portion
of your glory.
When the Spirit of the Lord
comes over me,
it's like chimes
playing in me.
It's kind of musical.
