V1
I have seen my Father’s glory
Revealed in Jesus Christ
And the more that I behold Him
The more He satisfies
When I gaze upon His beauty 
When I see Him as I should
Then my eyes are lifted upward
For His glory and my good

V2
There is hope in every trial 
For I can trust the Lord 
He will turn my heart towards Him 
And help me bear the thorn
So in faith I follow Jesus
On the road not understood
For I know that He is working 
For His glory and my good

CHORUS
To our God be the glory
To our God be praise
He alone, the name above all names
I will boast ever only in the Lord my God
For I know His glory is my good

V3
See the open arms of Jesus
Upon the cross that day
What they understood as weakness
Deserves my every praise 
For the charge that was against me
It was nailed into the wood 
Yes I know that He has saved me
For His glory and my good

CHORUS
To our God be the glory
To our God be praise
He alone, the name above all names
I will boast ever only in the Lord my God
For I know His glory is my good

V4
Would I gladly be made nothing
That Christ would be made more
Would I seek the only kingdom 
That far outweighs them all 
I will stand before my Father 
Where the faithful saints have stood 
And with joy my heart shall praise Him
For His glory and my good

To our God be the glory
To our God be praise
He alone, the name above all names
I will boast ever only in the Lord my God
For I know His glory is my good

To our God be the glory
To our God be praise
He alone, the name above all names
I will boast ever only in the Lord my God
For I know His glory is my good
Yes I know His glory is my good

In a world filled with "Christian" songs that are shallow in any theology, filled with "me-centered" lyrics and laced with worldly dissonance. I’m thankful for CityAlight committing their lyrics to bible truths and faithful worship!

[JedidiahWilliams-poru]

Look at these young people. Jesus is still pouring His Spirit out. Amen Abba Father. Amen

[trimediatvke]

I'm a Kenyan. What makes me desire to come to Australia is to attend one of your sessions. Your music is so full of Scripture, so inspiring. If we don't meet in Australia, may we meet at the throne of Glory

Would I gladly be made nothing that Christ would be made more?

[TopTen-Ten]

Blessed be the day I came across CityAlight songs, it's been a blessing.

[timi]

I've been playing only this song on repeat for the past three days and ever fresh each time!
True worship is a universal language. Most of God's children can connect.
More grace to cityalight.
Much love

[rickbiessman]

So, there is Christ-centred, theologically rich worship music after all in this day and age... THANK YOU so much for all the dedication and hard work that goes into making something like this. It’s worth it. His bride is worth being ministered to, and He is worth being sung to.

Oh, how I love this song. Not only are the lyrics profoundly biblical, but the song teaches us how to worship God rightly in Spirit and in Truth. The singers and worshippers were delightful in their singing, which was evident in their facial expressions, with unspeakable joy in them. I wish to see such worship in my church congregation one day, God willing. Indeed, God's glory or goodness is our good even though, at times, through suffering and pain, we may not experience the good we want immediately.

When Moses wanted to see God's glory badly to secure his confidence in the task given by God after his own brother, Aaron was compromised in godliness, God said to him ...
Exod 33:17 'And the LORD said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But, ” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.” '

Going forward, I am reminded of John 1:14 that now the glory of God 'tabernacled' with men, and He is the Word became flesh, and His Name is called Emmanuel, i.e., God with us (Matt 1:23):
John 1:14 says 'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." His Name is Jesus Christ!

Soli Deo gloria,
Bro Wee Kiat

Just after reading 1Corinthians chapters 1&2 turned to YouTube for a spirit filled song, this was the first to pop up, God is so faithful.
