Lyrics
Who else is our light in the dark?
Forever the hope in our hearts
No one but Jesus
Glory belongs to You
Who else does creation adore?
Whose worship does all heaven roar?
No one but Jesus
Glory belongs to You
Glory belongs to
You
There is none like You
Jesus You're worthy
All of the glory belongs to You
Name above all names
We worship You only
All of the glory belongs to You
Who else chose to die in our place?
Whose love has defeated the grave?
A whose resurrection flows in our veins?
Jesus, our hope and our strength is
You
There is none like You
Jesus You're worthy
All of the glory belongs to You
Name above all names
We worship You only
All of the glory belongs to You
Forever, forever Your name
Be praised, be glorified
Forever, forever Your name
Be praised, be lifted high
You
There is none like You
Jesus You're worthy
All of the glory belongs to You
Name above all names
We worship You only
All of the glory belongs to You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Glory Belongs” is a direct confession of the uniqueness and worthiness of Jesus. Its opening questions identify him as light in darkness, enduring hope, and the one adored by creation and heaven. The recurring answer, “No one but Jesus,” narrows every claim of glory to Christ alone. The chorus then joins worship with confession, naming Jesus as incomparable and placing his name above every other name.
The second verse grounds that praise in the gospel: Jesus dies in humanity’s place, defeats the grave, and becomes the source of hope and strength. Those lines may recall New Testament passages that connect Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection with his exaltation. The bridge extends the song’s praise beyond a single moment through the repeated word “forever,” asking that his name continually be praised, glorified, and lifted high. Across its compact structure, the lyric moves from questions about Christ’s identity to a sustained response of exclusive worship and surrendered glory.
