Let your Glory fall upon me.

 Let Your Glory Fall Upon Me

A Reflection on Exodus 33:18-19, Isaiah 6:3, and 2 Corinthians 3:18

Let Your glory fall upon me—not as a distant, blinding light,

But as the gentle, heavy presence that transforms the darkest night.

Moses asked to see Your glory, hidden in the rock's cleft side.

And You passed before him, proclaiming Your name, with nowhere left to hide.

Then Moses said, “Now show me Your glory.” And the Lord said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you.” (Exodus 33:18-19)

Let Your glory fall—not for my eyes alone,

But that my heart might be undone, my spirit overthrown

By the weight of who You are—the Holy, the Just, the True.

Let Your glory fall and make me more like You.

The seraphim cry holy, the temple shakes and fills.

The glory of the Lord descends on holy hills.

But You do not destroy the creature who stands before Your face.

You lift, you cleanse, you send. You cover us with grace.

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” (Isaiah 6:3)

Fall on my mind—let every vain imagination cease.

Fall on my heart—let it be filled with Your perfect peace.

Fall on my lips—let them speak of nothing but Your worth.

Fall on my hands—let them serve the broken of the earth.

For where Your glory rests, there is healing for the land.

Where Your glory rests, there is strength to take a stand.

Not for my reputation, not for my name’s acclaim,

But that the world may know You, and call upon Your name.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever‑increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

So let Your glory fall—now and every hour.

Let it rest upon my life like a consuming, holy fire.

Let it break my pride, reshape my will, and burn away the dross,

Until only Christ remains, the glory and the cross.

Let Your glory fall upon me. I am ready, Lord. I wait.

Transform me by Your presence. Open heaven’s gate.

Amen.
