My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)

Words and Music by Andraé Crouch

How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me
Things so undeserved, yet You give to prove Your love for me?
The voice of a million angels could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee.

To God be the glory,
To God be the glory!
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

With His blood He has saved me;
With His pow’r He has raised me;
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

Just let me live my life;
Let it be pleasing, Lord, to Thee.
And should I gain any praise,
Let it go to Calvary.

With His blood He has saved me;
With His pow’r He has raised me;
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

Holy, Holy, Holy

Words by Reginald Heber (1783-1826)
Music by John B. Dykes (1823-1876)

Holy, Holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! tho’ the darkness hide Thee,
Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Performed by the Kurt Carr Singers

22-Day New Testament Reading Plan

We began “Octoberfast” today in my church. For the next three weeks, we we will be fasting and praying corporately.

Because I have been extremely sick lately, I am not going to begin completely abstaining from food right away, but I have decided that one of the key projects I will accomplish in this 21-day period is to reread the New Testament. I’ve included my reading plan for the next 22 days here. I’m aiming for about 12 chapters a day and will break that up throughout the day. The plan is:

What about you? What cool things are you going to do this month?
