8. Transfigured by Your glory, Lord,
Renewed in heart and mind,
Iʼll sing angelic songs of praise
With joy which all can find
In You alone, O Lord.

9. Iʼll love You, O my Father God,
Through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
Iʼll love You in the Spirit, Lord,
In whom we all are one,
Made holy by Your love.
1. You made us to reflect Your glory,
To be like You in all our ways,
But all this we rejected in exchange for a lie,
No longer giving thanks or praise.
And where once there had been communion—
Sharing with You in all thatʼs true—
There was now separation, we were dead in our sins
And we Your love no longer knew,
Without God and no hope in view.
2. But You sent us the Man of glory
Who was one with You in Your ways,
And as man He walked truly in obedience to You
In truth, in Spirit and in grace.
By His blood He restored communion,
Brought us back, our Father, to You;
For in Him we were crucified, in Him we now live,
In Him, behold, we are made new,
In love free to glorify You.

3. Now we walk in the way of glory,
Not as those who live in the night.
With our eyes fixed on Jesus, Father, You draw us on—
We walk by faith and not by sight.
And though things all around keep changing,
Still we live in all that is true;
As we live in the way we were created to be,
As we give praise and thanks to You,
And worship You in all we do.
4. Now in hope we await the glory
For which in the Spirit weʼre sealed,
When thereʼll be a new heaven and thereʼll be a new earth,
When all Godʼs sons shall be revealed.
But till then we shall tell our brothers—
In the Spirit, in Jesusʼ Name—
The good news of repentance and forgiveness for sins.
Your love, our Father, weʼll proclaim;
In faith, hope, and love weʼll remain.
