Lyrics
For you have fought for me
Defeated death for me
The weight of sin you carried for me
Your never ending love
What you gave, you gave for us
Is more greater than
Far more greater than anything
For you have fought for me
Defeated death, defeated death for me
The weight of sin you carried just for me
Your never ending love
What you gave, you gave for us
Is far more greater than
Anybody give a testimony
It's greater than anything
So we give you glory, we give you glory
We give you glory oh God
Emanuel, we know you're with us
So we give you glory oh God
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The glory of the Lord is here
Somebody give Him high praise
Hallelujah
Oh God
Somebody shout high praise
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Shout out a higher
Hallelujah
Hallelujah oh God
For you have fought for me
Defeated death for me
The weight of sin was carried for me
Your never ending love
What you gave for us
Is far more greater than anything
Send your power, send your power
Send your power oh God
Send your power, send your power
Send your power oh God
Send your power, send your power
Send your power oh God
Send your power, send your power
Send your power oh God
Send your power, send your power
Send your power oh God
We give you glory, we give you glory
We give you glory oh God
We give you glory, we give you glory
We give you glory oh God
We give you glory, we give you glory
We give you glory oh God
We give you glory, we give you glory
We give you glory oh God

Meaning & Inspiration
We Give You Glory Reprise builds its worship from the saving work of Christ. The opening lines name conflict, death, sin, and sacrificial love, then answer each burden with gratitude. Christ is portrayed as the one who fought, defeated death, and carried sin, so the repeated response of glory rises from redemption rather than from vague admiration.
As the song continues, the refrain “We give you glory” expands into calls for testimony, praise, and divine power. The name Emmanuel adds the assurance of God’s presence, while repeated hallelujahs give the lyric the shape of live congregational worship. First Peter 2:24 closely parallels the statement that Christ carried sin, and Hebrews 2:14 connects his death with the defeat of death’s power. The reprise therefore gathers several compact confessions into one sustained response: Christ’s self-giving love is greater than every opposing force, and praise is the fitting acknowledgment of that victory.
