Meaning & Inspiration
You Deserve The Glory is a short song of worship that declares God worthy. The lyrics say that He deserves the glory and the honor, call a congregation to lift hands in worship as His holy name is lifted, and then declare that He is great, does great miracles and has no equal. The closing line is repeated twice, there is no one else like Him.
The wording echoes Revelation 4:11 and 5:12 on worthy to receive glory and honor, Psalm 134:2 and 1 Timothy 2:8 on lifting hands, Exodus 15:11 and Psalm 86:8 on none being like the Lord, and Psalm 77:14 on the God who works wonders. With only a few lines, the song depends on repetition and invites a leader and congregation to linger in adoration, and the tone is reverent, simple and confident. It suits an opening call to worship or a moment between longer songs.
