Matthew 17 — Glory Revealed
Verse 1 — Up the Mountain
Six days later He called them near,
Peter, James, and John were here.
Up the mountain, away from the crowd,
Where heaven would speak and glory would sound.
His face shone bright like the rising sun,
His clothes burned white — the veil undone.
What they’d followed now stood revealed,
The hidden Christ, the glory sealed.
Pre-Chorus
Not just teacher, not just sign,
Heaven’s Son in borrowed time.
Chorus — Glory Revealed
Glory revealed before their eyes,
Heaven breaking through the skies.
Not a story, not concealed,
This is the Son — glory revealed.
For a moment they could see
Who He was… and soon would be.
Verse 2 — Law and Prophets
Moses stood from the law once given,
Elijah came, the voice of heaven.
All the Scripture standing there,
Pointing forward — fulfilled in Him alone, made clear.
Peter spoke what awe had stirred,
“Let’s stay right here, build three words.”
But the cloud rolled in, the moment changed,
Human plans were gently rearranged.
Chorus — Glory Revealed
Glory revealed, the Father spoke,
“This is My Son — My chosen hope.”
Listen to Him, not fear or zeal,
This is the Christ — glory revealed.
Falling down, they lost all sight,
Till mercy touched them in the light.
Verse 3 — Coming Down the Mountain
As they walked back down the hill,
Jesus spoke with steady will:
“Tell no one what your eyes have seen,
Until the Son of Man is raised again.”
They asked of Elijah, what it meant,
He said, “He came — but hearts were bent.
John prepared the way they missed,
And now the Son will suffer this.”
Bridge — Faith in the Valley
A father cried from desperate pain,
“My son is bound — we tried in vain.”
The disciples failed where fear stood tall,
But Jesus answered the anguished call.
“This kind moves when faith is real,
Not loud belief, but trust that kneels.”
A mustard seed can shift the ground,
When heaven’s power is leaned upon.
Final Chorus — Glory Revealed
Glory revealed — then walked back down,
From shining heights to broken ground.
The cross ahead, the path made clear,
But power walks with faith, not fear.
What was shown would strength supply
For darker days that soon would rise.
Outro — The Coin in the Fish
At the temple gate the question came,
“Does your Teacher pay the claim?”
Jesus spoke of sons set free,
Yet chose the path of humility.
From a fish, the coin was found,
Provision met without a sound.
The King who owed no debt at all
Still paid in love — to reach them all
