God’s intimacy with man
restores life, brings gladness,
relieves grief, suffering,
brightens our hearts.
Glory only in His words;
Wisdom and glory only from God;
His creation is within our souls,
‘tis never complete.
God’s son calls us friend;
His heart is our source
for energy, truth, motivation.
We are raised from the dust
and seek glory in His name.
He is well pleased.
