Meaning & Inspiration
“Hallelujah, Salvation and Glory” by Steve Green is a short scripture song of praise that repeats a single line: “Salvation and glory, glory and power belong to our God.” The word Hallelujah opens each round, and a second line declares that the Lord God Almighty reigns. The lyric stays close to the Bible’s own wording and adds little beyond it.
That wording comes from the heavenly worship in Revelation 19:1, where a great multitude cries out Hallelujah and gives salvation, glory and power to God. The next verses of that chapter speak of the Lord God Omnipotent reigning, which matches the second line of the song. The same scene includes praise from all His servants, small and great.
Because the words are few, the song works as a chant for a group to sing together, with the repetition keeping attention on God’s reign rather than on any story. Its message is plain adoration, giving credit for salvation, glory and power to God alone.
