God’s glory is slain for my glory.

“Your glory, O Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!”  2 Samuel 1:19

Lord God, Heavenly Father, I have no glory.

My glory was slain the moment of my conception in sin,

while I was carried high in the womb of my mother.

I was brought forth with no glory,

Born fallen and slain in my iniquities.

Let me see in Christ my glory,

He comes to fall because I am fallen.

He comes to be slain because I am slain.

He comes to be slain

and to fall on the high places

so that His Father sees and accepts

His glorious sacrifice and falling for me.

I dwell in the valley of the shadow of His death

on the high places where He was slain.

God’s glory is slain for my glory.

He who was lifted up has drawn me to Himself

and now He falls upon me in the shadow of death

and I am saved.

I see not His glory that He has made to fall upon me

because I dwell in the shadow of death.

Yet, I need only have the water to fall upon me with the Word

and I am born again in my glory, Jesus Christ.

I need only hear His Word of forgiveness

and I am set free in my glory, Jesus Christ.

I need only have the bread and the wine with the Word

fall upon my tongue

and I am feed and nourished

by the body and blood of my glory, Jesus Christ.

Surely I need only hear His Word

falling upon my ears, my heart, my life

and I am strengthened and renewed

to live by faith and not by sight,

in my glory, Jesus Christ.

Lord have mercy and let it be!

Christ have mercy and be this to me!

Lord have mercy and mercy me!
