"To The Glory Of God" - Music Ministry and Songwriting

Season 3 is all about music!  Dale and Tamson kick off the new season by talking about Dale's first original song that he recorded (lyrics below), the importance of music in the ministry of the Riddle Evangelistic Association, and how Dale began songwriting. 

To The Glory Of God

Verse 1:

We have not come to entertain you

Or to show you how good we can sing. 

We have not come to gain your praises 

Or to hear our virtues ring.

We have come to share God’s blessings 

Through Jesus our Lord and King. 

Praise God, we’ll gladly tell you now 

Just why we love to sing.

 

Chorus:

For whatever we do, 

We’re gonna do to the glory of God.

And whatever we say, 

We’re gonna say to the glory of God.

For the greatest thing that a man can do

Is to let his life express Jesus to you,

So glory, express glory, 

And do it all for the glory of God.

 

Verse 2:

Now Jesus came down to save us

And release our souls from sin.

He left His home in glory

And came down to dwell with men.

He lived and he died and his perfect life

Was never ever marred by sin.

And Christ will save you now today

If you will trust in Him.

 

Chorus:

So whatever we do, 

We’re gonna do to the glory of God.

And whatever we say, 

We’re gonna say to the glory of God.

For the greatest thing that a man can do

Is to let his life express Jesus to you,

So glory, express glory, 

And do it all for the glory of God.

 

Verse 3:

Now one day it will all be over

And we’re going to heaven’s land.

We’re going to tread upon the streets of gold

And we’ll see those nail-scarred hands.

And we’ll take our place in glory

Right beside the angel band.

How happy I’ll be forevermore 

Living over in the glory land, praise God!

 

Chorus:

So whatever we do, 

We’re gonna do to the glory of God.

And whatever we say, 

We’re gonna say to the glory of God.

For the greatest thing that a man can do

Is to let his life express Jesus to you,

So glory, express glory, 

And do it all for the glory of God.

 

For the greatest thing that a man can do

Is to let his life express Jesus to you,

So glory, express glory, 

And do it all for the glory of God.
