Jeremy Riddle and John Andrew Schreiner present 'Show Me (I Pray Thee) Thy Glory,' a sung prayer that echoes Moses' request to see God's glory. The song expresses a deep longing for God's presence, acknowledging His nearness and care while yearning for a more intimate revelation. It captures the tension between knowing God and desiring more of Him, with lyrics that convey desperation and a pursuit of His face. The repeated plea to be hidden in God's hand and shown His glory reflects a humble dependence on His mercy and presence.

Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Hide me in Your hand and pass before me
How can I go on if You're not with me?
So show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
I know You're near me
And I know You hear me
You've shown Your loving care for me
So tenderly, unendingly
You know I love You
But I need more of You
You've shown Yourself completely, Lord
To just a few, what must I do
To know You the way they do?
Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Hide me in Your hand and pass before me
How can I go on if You're not with me?
So show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Yearning and waltzing
Desperately longing
Lately I've been living life
As in a dream, or so it seems
Feels like I'm falling
But I hear You calling
Wake my heart completely, Lord
To only You, I will pursue
Until you do, I'm asking You
Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Hide me in Your hand and pass before me
How can I go on if You're not with me?
So show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
Show me I pray Thee, Thy glory
