Emmanuel
We know you're with us
We give you glory oh God
And we declare you're holy

Meaning & Inspiration
James Fortune’s “We Give You Glory,” released on November 20, 2022, stands as a powerful testament to the transformative work of God, a vibrant declaration of faith that echoes the core of Christian worship. The song’s message is rooted in the profound gratitude that arises from recognizing God’s unwavering faithfulness and redemptive sacrifice. The lyrical foundation is built upon acknowledging God’s active intervention in human lives, as evidenced by the lines reflecting His victory over death and the bearing of sin’s heavy burden. This directly calls to mind the scriptural truth found in Isaiah 53:4-5, which speaks of Him bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows, and the ultimate triumph over death articulated in 1 Corinthians 15:55, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" The repeated exclamations of "Hallelujah," a Hebrew term signifying praise to God, further amplify this sentiment, resonating with the Psalms’ constant call to give thanks and rejoice, such as in Psalm 100:1, "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands." The inclusion of “Emmanuel,” meaning "God with us," as highlighted in Matthew 1:23, reinforces the comforting assurance of God’s constant presence and immeasurable love, a love that is described as far greater than anything conceived by mortal minds, aligning with the sentiment of Ephesians 3:19 that God’s love surpasses all knowledge. The plea for God’s power to be sent forth speaks to the reliance on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance, a theme woven throughout the New Testament, particularly in Acts 1:8 where Jesus promises His disciples power after the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Ultimately, “We Give You Glory” is an invitation to experience and express profound adoration for a God who has shown unparalleled grace and accomplishes mighty deeds, encouraging listeners to lift their voices in a collective offering of worship and acknowledgment of His supreme worthiness, as declared in Revelation 4:11, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
