I’m over taken with tears of thankfulness this morning…God will do anything and everything to show us His glory…He loves you! He loves me! His love is inconceivable to our mind, more compassionate than any human heart, and absolutely tangible to our souls. He’s tenderhearted towards his beloved…and to prove it, He died a painful, merciless death, to prove His love for you and me!
Moses said to God, “Please show me Your glory!
Oh God, show me your glory…
Let me draw near to that place beside you…
To stand upon the rock and watch as you pass by
The Rock of Horeb, where the water is brought
From Christ I’ll stand, and all is wrought
Safe at your right hand…
There is no greater glory than your presence
On the rock I will stand…
One small glimpse is all I ask
Favored by your grace and mercy
Come on child, I’ll remove my mask…
And you will see My goodness pass
I AM, is before you…
My glory will pass by you, as I hide you in the cleft of the rock
I will cover you with my hand and as I pass by
You will see the back of me…
But my face you will not see…
For my brightness would overtake thee
My mercy is the glory of my goodness…
And as you seek to know more of me…
I’ll open your soul to the mysteries…
Of depths and heights far beyond this world
To live with me eternally…
I AM is with thee!

And he (Moses) said, “Please, show me Your glory.”
Then He(God) said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33:18-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
