Kutless - We Exalt Thee Lyrics

“We Exalt Thee” is a direct expression of worship built from love, praise, and reverence. The opening lines present a worshiper lifting a voice to the Lord and asking that the song be pleasing to the King. That request keeps the focus on God’s delight rather than on performance. Joy appears as the soul’s response to giving honor, and the image of a sweet sound recalls biblical language about acceptable praise.

The repeated declaration of exaltation gives the lyric its congregational character. Instead of developing a long narrative, the song remains with one central action: raising the Lord above every competing concern. Its simplicity supports a posture of devotion in which voice, soul, and desire are directed toward God. The words align naturally with passages that call worshipers to exalt the Lord and bow before their Maker. Together, the two sections move from personal affection to open adoration, making praise both an inward response and a spoken confession.
