LyicsTHUS saith the Lord of glory, I'd have the world to know me,
For all must stand before me, to account for what they have done,
I am the God of heaven, eternally I'm living,
All things are my creation, for I am God alone.
O sinners will you hear me, repent and do believe me,
For you cannot deceive me, all things to me are known.
Yourselves you are deceiving, my word you'r disbelieving;
Damnation you'r receiving from me that's God alone.
My Gospel is rejected, my worship is neglected,
And wickedness protected, by slighting of my son,
Although you are hard hearted till earth and you are parted,
Through you it shall be darted that I am God alone.
O will you be reformed, and to my word conformed,
My ransom is provided if you will only come.
But if you do refuse it, I never will excuse it,
Because you do abuse it, for I am God alone.
Do you not fear my judgment when you shall in amazement
Hear the last sounding trmpet a-bidding you to come,
O then I'll fix your station by pointing you damnation,
For slighting my salvation, for I am God alone.
O do you seek for pleasure, or do you seek for treasure,
Or what is your desire, come make it quickly known,
I am the God of pleasure, I am the God of treasure,
And there is none that's higher than I that's God alone.
Draw near to me my Zion, for I am Judah's Lion,
I've often heard your crying and listened to your groans,
I never will forsake you, but ever will protect you,
From evil I will save you, for I am God alone.
I am your friend and father, your comforter and brother,
Love me, and one-another, my mercy is made known,
Forsake all sinful pleasure and I will be your treasure,
I'll grant you your desire, for I am God alone.
