Verse
The Glory is here
The Anointing is here
I can feel it all over me
It's overflowing
I'm born of God
The life of God is in me
Fear has no power over me
greater is He that's in me
Chorus
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (twice)
Holy Spirit we adore You, You are highly exalted (twice)
You are awesome We lift our hands to You (twice)

Meaning & Inspiration
The Glory is Here is an African gospel praise song that declares the presence of God and the believer's standing in Christ. The opening lines announce that the glory and the anointing are here, felt all over the singer and overflowing. The verse then states identity: born of God, with the life of God in the singer, no power for fear, and the line that greater is He who is in the singer than he who is in the world.
The second section is a joyful chant of "oh" syllables followed by adoration of the Holy Spirit, saying that He is highly exalted and awesome, with hands lifted to Him. The themes follow 1 John 4:4 on greater is He that is in believers, 1 John 5:4 on being born of God and overcoming, and 2 Timothy 1:7 on a spirit of power instead of fear. The short, repeated lines and chant-like second half make the song easy for a congregation to join, with an energetic, victorious tone that suits a lively praise time in a service.
