Tasha Cobbs Leonard - We Give You Glory Lyrics

We Give You Glory centers on praise for God’s saving work in Christ. Its opening refrain offers repeated glory and hallelujah, then the verse gives that worship a specific basis: Christ fought on behalf of sinners, defeated death, carried sin’s weight, and showed immeasurable love. The language makes praise a response to redemption rather than a vague expression of admiration.

The second chorus names Emmanuel and confesses God’s presence, holiness, and worthiness. Matthew 1:23 directly supports the title Emmanuel and its meaning, “God with us.” The claim of victory over death also aligns with 1 Corinthians 15:57, where thanks are given to God for victory through Jesus Christ. Psalm 29:2 reflects the repeated call to give God the glory due his name and worship in holiness. Requests for divine power sit within that pattern of adoration and dependence. Across its repeated sections, the song joins gratitude for Christ’s completed victory with an appeal for God’s active presence.
