Verse 1
I’ve got a God who is for me
He’s known for making a way
He fought the battle
So I wouldn’t have to
All glory belongs to His Name
I’ve got a God who’s been faithful
Far more than I could explain
Through every season
In spite of my weakness
He gave me a song I could sing

That’s why I woke up today

That’s why I woke up today
I came to praise

Meaning & Inspiration
“Alleluia” is an Elevation Worship song that gives all the praise to God and is shaped by a simple chant: “Alle, Alle, Alleluia, you get all the praise.” The verses give reasons. The first says God is for the singer, known for making a way, and has fought the battle so that the singer would not have to. The second calls Jesus a risen King who put the singer’s shame in the grave.
The refrain, “I came to praise,” sets the purpose of the day. It is close to the call to praise in Psalm 150:6, and the line about God fighting the battle echoes Exodus 14:14. The resurrection verse recalls 1 Corinthians 15:55.
The bridge says the singer is singing in the morning, at night, and in the battle, and calls that “how I fight,” which is close to the praise of Paul and Silas in prison in Acts 16:25. The song’s message is that praise is both thanksgiving and a response to struggle.
