Lyrics
There's a song that's on my lips
From the moment that I rise
To the One who rescued me
And brought me life
Praise awaits You at the dawn
Praise awaits You in the night
With the heavens I will sing
And lift You high
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
All glory to the One
Glory to the Lord Almighty
Glory to the King Most High
Glory be to God forever
All glory to the One Turnaround
Praise awaits You at the dawn
Praise awaits You in the night
With the heavens I will sing
And lift You high
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
All glory to the One
Glory to the Lord Almighty
Glory to the King Most High
Glory be to God forever
All glory to the One Turnaround
As it was, and is and ever shall be amen, amen
As it was, and is and ever shall be amen, amen
As it was, and is and ever shall be amen, amen
As it was, and is and ever shall be amen, amen
Glory be to God!
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
All glory to the One
Glory to the Lord Almighty
Glory to the King Most High
Glory be to God forever
All glory to the One Turnaround
Glory be to God!

Meaning & Inspiration
Glory Be is a sustained declaration of praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Beginning at dawn and continuing into the night, the lyric portrays worship as a response that fills the whole day. Its language expands from personal song to the praise of heaven, placing the singer within a larger chorus that exalts the Lord Almighty and the King Most High. The recurring doxology keeps the focus on God rather than on individual experience.
The phrase about what was, is, and ever shall be draws on historic Christian language for the eternal glory of God. Revelation 5:13 offers a close biblical parallel as every creature gives blessing, honor, glory, and might to the One on the throne and to the Lamb. Psalm 65:1 also supports the opening idea that praise awaits God. Together, these themes present worship as both daily devotion and an enduring confession of divine majesty.
