Weight Of Glory Lyrics

Well I'd heard stories of Moses' face all glowing bright

On the mountain top when You passed your glory by

And I thought

No one could see you and keep their life

But here I am

Staring God right in the eyes

And they look a bit like mine

In the wilderness You were with us all the time

As a cloud by day, a flaming pillar in the night

And I thought

You didn't dwell in houses made by man

But here I am

Holding the Maker in my hands

When the temple came, everything had to be just right

In the Holy Place, steady streams of sacrifice

And I thought

That was as close as we could get

But here I am

With You sleeping on my chest

And I did not expect this child to be so heavy

Yahweh in the flesh, all the weight of glory

How could you contain the One who knows no limit

In this tiny babe, the hope of all creation
