To the Glory of God
by Kathleen Higham

Do all to the glory of God
For shallowness will abound
As waves flow from the deep
A vision so moving, profound.

Hold the depth of life close
Only the Lord should see
Sacred thoughts belong to Him
Whether shallow or deep, just be.

God gives us the shallow things
Even the oceans touch the shore
But deep, so deep is the Lord
And He longs to give us more.

Do all to the glory of God
On the surface of life we live
The defining moment may come
With a burning desire to give.

A disciple needs his teacher
Oh, be careful of haughty pride
It can steal your common sense
Allowing spiritual contempt to hide.

Criticize only your own heart
Look deep from the shallow side
Understanding what our Savior did
Became a simple man, then died.

There is no depth in sinful man
Into the world, born a fraud
Then Jesus Christ redeemed us
"Do all to the glory of God."

1st Corinthians 10:31
"Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
