My Works for Your Glory

Christ my King, I don’t want to make works with my hands of my own production that bring me praise and glory. Set me free from the curse of making a name for myself and seeking men’s praise. Set me free from my own drive to succeed that pushes away refreshing springs for liquid gold. Set me free from the dream of wealth where my every sinful desire could be crowned. Set me free from works that luster on computer screens but vanish under sunlight. Let me be consumed with your glory—the glory of an Almighty God known for immense power and everlasting love. Work in me Lord to produce heavenly works that reveal your greatness. Let no one say that I am amazing, or good, or praiseworthy. Let them say, “his God is great” and “let us worship Jesus”. Let them see you in me, and join together in praise, that we may delight in you who created all good things! Lord, I do not wish to rob you of what is yours. May you be glorified and not me.
