Lyrics
Verse 1
While walking on this earth,
We are nothing in ourselves,
Yet God's chosen to use us,
In His mighty hand,
For the master plan requires human instruments,
But they must not ever glorify themselves.
Chorus
All the glory must be to the Lord,
Only He is worthy of our praise,
No one on earth should give glory to himself,
For all the glory must be to the Lord.
Verse 2
Are we ready to obey Him,
When He urges us to go,
Are we willing to be nothing,
But servants of the cross?
In the times of trial and hardship,
Or when shining from the top,
Are we willing to lay down our lives for Him?
Chorus
No one on earth should give glory to himself,
For all the glory must be to the Lord.
Outro
No one on earth should give glory to himself,
For all the glory must be
The glory must be,
All the glory must be to the Lord.
