For the Glory of it all

I cannot sing this new song by the David Crowder Band without crying. This morning as I prayed for my wife and son the chorus came to mind, so I loaded it on iTunes and sobbed my heart out.

David Crowder*Band - Remedy It’s called “The Glory of it All” from their latest album Remedy.

The lyrics are loaded with theology of God’s glory, His redemptive love, our worth in His light and His willingness and ability to repair all things…

(glory = weight, worth, value. I see our lives as needing to display the weight of God’s infinite worth. Everything He does displays, or will one day reveal, His infinite worth in Christ, for our good and everlasting joy.)

The Glory Of It All
At the start
He was there
He was there
In the end
He’ll be there
He’ll be there
And after all
Our hands have wrought
He fogives

Oh, the glory of it all
Is He came here
For the rescue of us all
That we may live
For the glory of it all
Oh, the glory of it all

All is lost
Find Him there
Find Him there
After night
Dawn is there
Dawn is there
And after all
Falls apart
He repairs
He repairs

Oh, He is here
With redemption from the fall
That we may live
For the glory of it all
Oh, the glory of it all

After night
Comes a light
Dawn is here
Dawn is here
It’s a new day, a new day
Oh, everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be the same

Oh, everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be the same

—
Oh the beauty and worth of the infinite God Almighty, Father, Son and Spirit!

What is deTheos?

The two Greek words de ("but") and Theos ("God") are the first two words of Ephesians 2:4: "But God, who is rich in mercy..." Because of God's great love and grace extending to us in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and able to know, love + enjoy God more fully, ever-increasing and forever.
This site contains the thoughts and conclusions and journeys of the Patterson family -- Jeff, Kari and Dutch -- who have experienced the front-end of God's amazing grace, and continue to delight in His unfailing love.
