Crystal Lewis - Glory Glory Hallelujah Lyrics

“Glory, Glory, Hallelujah” uses the language of a traditional spiritual to express hope beyond present suffering. Each short section returns to laying burdens down, making release from sorrow the song’s steady refrain. Sickness, grief, and mistreatment are named plainly, but none is treated as permanent. The repeated hallelujah places praise alongside hardship and gives the song a confident expectation of rest in God’s presence.

The line about telling God how another person has acted carries the pain of injustice without making personal revenge the answer. Judgment is placed before God, while the singer looks toward a future in which burdens no longer have to be carried. Revelation 21 describes the end of death, mourning, crying, and pain, closely matching the hope of “no more sickness” and “no more sorrow.” Psalm 55 also speaks of casting a burden on the Lord. Together, these connections illuminate the lyric’s simple movement from weariness toward relief, praise, and trust in God’s final care.
