Jeremy Riddle + Bethel Music - Glory To Glory Lyrics

Lyrics

Created from dust

You came and You lived among us

You took on our frame, You walked in our pain

And now You're taking us higher

You stepped into time

You laid down Your life to save us

You took all our shame

On the cross it was laid

And now You're taking us higher

We go from glory to glory to glory

We'll never be the same, we'll never be the same

We go from glory to glory to glory

We're forever changed, forever changed

You call me a friend

Brought into Your endless kingdom

By the blood I was made, no longer a slave

And now You're taking us higher

We go from glory to glory to glory

We'll never be the same, we'll never be the same

We go from glory to glory to glory

We're forever changed, forever changed

Until we reach that day

Love conquers everything

We'll cry an anthem singing

Holy, holy

And when we see that day

We're standing face to face

We'll shout an anthem singing

Holy, holy

Until we reach that day

Love conquers everything

We'll cry an anthem singing

Holy, holy

And when we see that day

We're standing face to face

We'll shout an anthem singing

Holy, holy

You took on the grave

So not even death can shake us

The victor has won

And Heaven has come

Now You're taking us higher

And now You're taking us higher

We go from glory to glory to glory

We'll never be the same, never be the same

You take us higher and higher and higher

We're forever changed, we're forever changed

We go from glory to glory to glory

We'll never be the same, never be the same

You take us higher and higher and higher

We're forever changed, we're forever changed

We go from glory to glory to glory

You take us higher and higher and higher

We're forever changed, forever changed

You're lifting us higher

We'll never be the same

Glory to Glory - Jeremy Riddle | Bethel Music

Meaning & Inspiration

The song "Glory To Glory" by Jeremy Riddle with Bethel Music, released on April 5, 2016, presents a profound musical exploration of the believer's journey toward spiritual maturity and resemblance to God. At its heart, the song captures the breathtaking process described in 2 Corinthians 3:18, which states, "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." This verse is the very bedrock of the song's message, articulating that as we fix our gaze upon God – whether through worship, Scripture, or experiencing His presence – we are progressively changed, becoming more and more like Him. The concept isn't about achieving instant perfection, but rather a continuous, Spirit-led transformation, moving from one stage of spiritual understanding and character (one degree of glory) to the next. The song beautifully articulates this ongoing work, acknowledging that the person we are today is being shaped into the person God intends us to be, reflecting more of His likeness each step of the way. This aligns with other Scriptures like Romans 12:2, which calls for the renewal of our minds so we can be transformed, and Colossians 3:10, speaking of putting on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. The song's structure and musical arc often mirror this journey, starting perhaps with a sense of awe or longing and building into a declaration of faith in this process. It serves as both a worshipful response to God's transformative power and an encouraging reminder that the work He has begun in us, as Philippians 1:6 assures us, He will carry on to completion. The song encourages a posture of beholding and surrendering, trusting that as we fix our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith, we are actively being changed from the inside out, moving from one level of reflecting His image to a deeper, brighter one – truly, glory to glory.
