Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You took up Your cross, gave it all for us, so that we might know grace
You gave up Your crown, an act so profound, we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
All that we are for Your glory
All that we are for Your Name Jesus
All that we are for Your glory
We praise You, we praise You
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The fight is now over, war has been won, the power of Your Name
Jesus the Christ has made us alive, we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
All that we are for Your glory
All that we are for Your Name Jesus
All that we are for Your glory
We praise You, we praise You
[x2]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
What a sacrifice, that You laid down Your life
To save a sinner's heart like mine
I surrender all, all to You my God
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to Your Name
All that we are for Your glory
All that we are for Your Name Jesus
All that we are for Your glory
We praise You, we praise You
[x2]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Meaning & Inspiration
The song centers on Christ’s self-giving and the worship that follows from grace. The opening verse looks to the cross, describing Jesus as laying aside honor and giving himself so that sinners might be changed. Its chorus answers that sacrifice with complete devotion: every part of life is offered for the glory and name of Jesus. Repeated praise keeps the response communal and celebratory rather than merely reflective.
A second movement declares that Christ has won the decisive battle and made his people alive through the power of his name. That language closely reflects New Testament themes of victory over hostile powers and new life with Christ. The bridge then narrows the focus to personal surrender, joining gratitude for the sacrifice of Jesus with an offering of the whole self to God. Praise, salvation, victory, and surrender therefore form one connected confession, with the cross serving as both the basis of hope and the reason for worship.
