To God
Goes the Glory
by
Barbara Philbrook
To God
goes the glory for the great things He has done,
I've claimed so many of the promises in His Word and He
has answered each one.
Now this
alone is not a miracle it's exactly what we are taught,
if we surrender ourselves and believe as we ask He'll
answer any request we've brought.
God showed
me these truths in his word and gave me the faith it
required for me to believe,
and I tell you the blessings he's given me
are a joy for me to receive.
I've known
there was a God since I was but a child,
I had foolishly tried to be good enough to earn
what was offered freely and he just lovingly
smiled.
Then when
the world as I knew it seemed to be caving in,
as loved ones died and left me and I saw that I was
hopelessly lost in sin.
I gave up
trying to be good and surrendered that very day,
then he opened my eyes that I could see He was the potter
and I was but clay.
Though I'd
been reading His Word for over a quarter of a century,
it wasn't until I completely surrendered that God opened
my eyes that I might see.
He showed
me so clearly that salvation cannot be earned nor can it
be bought,
and that is exactly what I'd been trying to do since I
was but a tot..
Now God
knowing that I in my attempt to be perfect had made my
husband and children my priority, clearly he spoke and
said " choose them or me?"
You see I
not only thought I was responsible for my salvation but
for those who meant the world to me, what a relief it is
to realize that no one must earn salvation it's
offered absolutely for free.
I "
let go and let God" and trusted every word He has
said,
I can tell you now that come what may I need not worry I
just trust in Him instead.
Yes to God
be the Glory great things He has done,
my loved ones will all be there Jesus died that they may
live each and every one.
Thank You
Father for allowing me to see,
that each of them are reaching out to accept your
gift of eternity.
