A Stray Couplet

I woke in the middle of the night with a couple of lines going through my head.

The Lord said to Moses, "Now what'll it be-
Shall I come as a Glory or come as a Key?"

I've been trying to complete them ever since but without success.

That's great. It sounds like something Sydney Carter would have written.

Thanks,

Only he'd have had the entire lyric and not just a couple of lines...

Maybe it's meant to be a stand-alone couplet.

Apparently not. I've just posted the rest of it :)
