Sweet Love, Sweet Glory Poem by Jimmy L. Lyons

God is my light; there's no need to fight.
I've been through praying and fasting,
so I feel my love is everlasting -
my sweet love for sweet, heavenly glory.

I want to paint a picture of my life;
I want to do it carefully - I want to do it right.
I want to minister, to spread God's goodness all the time,
to spread my sweet love for sweet glory.

I don't know the reason, but this will be my season.
Sometimes church is a mess, but I want to be blessed,
to be in Christ forever and ever,
with sweet love for sweet glory.

I've been in the storm for much too long,
I just want to sing my song.
My song of sweet love -
of sweet love for sweet glory.

I feel this life is hard and cold,
but I refuse to sell my soul.
I want life's picture to tell a story;
this is my story: to God be the glory.

Glory to God, and may all be blessed.
