Elevation Worship - Glory and Praise Lyrics
Lyrics
It all revolves
Around Your throne
Who can know Your glory?
So high above
Yet slain for us
You alone are worthy
And the praise is Yours
And the praise is Yours!
You're the One we bow before
Reigning over us
As we lift You up
You will reign forevermore!
The One who was
And is to come
God of every moment
Forever crowned
Exalted now
You alone are Holy!
And the praise is Yours
And the praise is Yours!
You're the One we bow before
Reigning over us
As we lift You up!
You will reign forevermore!
And the praise is Yours
And the praise is Yours!
You're the One we bow before
Reigning over us
As we lift You up!
You will reign forevermore!
Reign forevermore
We lift You up...
Glory and praise
Power and strength
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Hallelujah
Glory and praise
Power and strength
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Hallelujah!
And the praise is Yours
And the praise is Yours!
You're the One we bow before
Reigning over us
As we lift You up
You will reign forevermore!
And the praise is Yours
And the praise is Yours!
You're the One we bow before
Reigning over us
As we lift You up
You will reign forevermore!
Glory and praise
Power and strength
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Hallelujah
Glory and praise
Power and strength
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Hallelujah!

Meaning & Inspiration
Elevation Worship's "Glory and Praise," featured on their 2017 album *There Is a Cloud*, is a profound declaration of divine sovereignty and redemptive sacrifice. From its opening lines, the song centers entirely on God's unveiled majesty, acknowledging the incomprehensibility of His glory, a truth echoed in Isaiah 55:9, which states, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Yet, this immense God is simultaneously depicted as "slain for us," a poignant reference to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, making Him undeniably worthy of all adoration. This central theme of Christ's atoning sacrifice as the ultimate act of love and the foundation for worship resonates deeply with passages like Revelation 5:12, which exclaims, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" The recurring refrain, "And the praise is Yours," is not merely a lyrical phrase but a theological anchor, asserting that all honor and worship ultimately return to the Creator, the Alpha and the Omega, "the One who was and is to come," a direct nod to the eternal nature of God as revealed in Revelation 1:8. The song's narrative progression moves from recognizing God's exalted position, "Reigning over us," to the human response of joyful acclamation and submission, "As we lift You up." This reciprocal dynamic mirrors the prophetic call in Psalm 95:6, urging us to "come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our maker." The repeated pronouncement of "Glory and praise, power and strength, worthy is the Lamb of God," along with the exultant "Hallelujah," serves as a powerful, scripturally-rooted crescendo, crystallizing the song’s core message: that our worship is a response to God's intrinsic worthiness, His supreme authority, and His ultimate act of love on the cross, a truth that consistently inspires and elevates the soul.
