For Your Glory & My Good
Lyrics
All Sons & Daughters
I bring my every need
Confessing everything
Lord, I'm desperate
For Your healing
I'm broke in every part
My unbelieving heart
I need the faith
To even ask You
So I'm not bargaining
For nothing's hidden
From Your sight
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
I come expectantly
Because You're calling me
There is no healing
But from Your hand
So whether suffering
Or free from laboring
It's for Your glory and my good
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
I run to You
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
Recklessly I come
I run to You
So whether suffering
Or free from laboring
It's for Your glory and my good
Confessing everything
Lord, I'm desperate
For Your healing
I'm broke in every part
My unbelieving heart
I need the faith
To even ask You
So I'm not bargaining
For nothing's hidden
From Your sight
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
I come expectantly
Because You're calling me
There is no healing
But from Your hand
So whether suffering
Or free from laboring
It's for Your glory and my good
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
I run to You
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
I would be a fool
If I could be made new
Come ruin, come ridicule
Recklessly I come
I run to You
Recklessly I come
I run to You
So whether suffering
Or free from laboring
It's for Your glory and my good
Song facts
The song was co-written with Derek Webb and according to Leslie, it was inspired by the story of the woman with a bleeding disorder in Mark 5. "The older I get, the more I experience life, the more I experience my own depravity, the more I see my need for the kind of bold faith this woman had. She was rejected by society, but she knew if she could just get to Jesus, he could heal her. We don't see that kind of faith much in today's society, that kind of faith is ridiculed... so I've been really challenged by that. Even before we started writing, we knew this song would be special."
