Lyrics

My dad told me after a move like that

It's nothing left to do but to celebrate

Okay I don't know who I'm talking to tonight

I said it's nothing left to do but to celebrate

I give you glory (hey)

I give you praise (hey)

Cause my enemy

Did not triumph

I say we about to seal it with a praise

See I don't know if you're ready

This is an SOS moment

So I need a little more room, little room right here

I give you glory (hey)

I give you praise (hey)

Cause my enemy

Did not triumph

Anybody ready to bless the Lord in here tonight?

I said is anybody ready to lose your mind?

Cause the devil lost again

I need everybody to jump with me

Like they say

I give you glory (hey)

I give you praise (hey)

Cause my enemy

Did not triumph

I need you to look back over your life

Look back over last year

The fact that you're still standing

Is proof that the devil didn't win

Can I do it one more time? (yeah)

Ya'll help me do it, come on

Jonathan Nelson - I Give You Glory (Live)

Meaning & Inspiration

"I Give You Glory" by Jonathan Nelson, featured on the 2016 deluxe edition of his album *Fearless*, is a powerful declaration of triumph and divine sovereignty that resonates deeply within the Christian faith. The song opens with a relatable anecdote, hinting at a difficult past experience that now calls for unwavering celebration. This personal touch sets the stage for the song's core message: that despite the struggles and adversaries faced, the ultimate victory belongs to God, and therefore, to His people. The narrative powerfully underscores the biblical truth found in Romans 8:37, which states, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Nelson's invitation to "celebrate" is not just a suggestion but an imperative, stemming from the understanding that the enemy has not prevailed.

The central theme of "I Give You Glory" is the unshakeable victory found in Christ, a concept directly tied to the Apostle Paul's triumphant pronouncements. The repeated refrain, "Cause my enemy did not triumph," echoes the confidence and assurance of believers who have experienced God's deliverance. This is vividly illustrated in Revelation 12:11, where it is written, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." The song encourages a full-bodied response to this victory, moving from simple praise to a release of unrestrained joy and celebration, a "lose your mind" moment that signifies a complete surrender to God's power. The lyrics call listeners to reflect on their own lives, acknowledging that their continued existence and well-being are undeniable proof that the devil’s schemes have failed. This reflection leads to an amplified expression of gratitude, as highlighted by the biblical instruction in Psalm 150:6, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."

Further elaborating on this theme of victory, Nelson introduces a profound declaration rooted in Scripture, specifically referencing Romans 16:20: "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." This verse serves as the bedrock for the song's latter half, where the act of "dancing" becomes a tangible representation of this spiritual conquest. The "dance" in this context is not merely a physical movement but a spiritual posture, an active demonstration of reclaiming what has been rightfully won through Christ's sacrifice. The repeated affirmations, "My dance says I can have it" and "My dance says I can possess it," signify the appropriation of God's promises – peace, sanity, healing, breakthroughs, and all spiritual possessions that are ours through our union with Christ. This is a call to embrace the inheritance promised in Ephesians 1:3, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." The song culminates in a powerful, unified declaration of "I got victory," urging listeners to express this truth with every fiber of their being, reinforcing the assurance that through God, all things are possible and all battles are won.
