His Glory And My Good
Regarding this song, CityAlight said:
“Kings throughout history have demanded praise and glory from their people. Whether this made life any better for the king’s subjects was very often irrelevant. If the palace was happy, that was all that mattered.
But our God is not like these earthly kings. In God’s infinite kindness, He has made it so His glorification is the ultimate good of His people. To put it another way, we are created to glorify Him, and only in doing this will we be truly satisfied. Importantly, this means God does not force us to choose between glorifying Him on the one hand, and ensuring our own good on the other; these things are one and the same. And so the Christian is empowered to seek the glorification of God, knowing this is the very same path which leads to our everlasting joy.
We wanted to write a song that spoke to this stunning truth. We pray that this song will give you the words to take this truth both deep into your hearts and to sing it out loud. ”
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
