The Prestonwood Choir - And We Are Glad Lyrics

“And We Are Glad” is built as a sustained response to God’s greatness. The verse gathers familiar declarations of praise—hallelujah, worthiness, holiness, and exaltation—before the pre-chorus gives the reason for that worship: God has done great things. The hook answers that confession with gladness. Repeated verses, hooks, and the closing vamp make the song less a narrative than a congregational celebration, allowing its central truths to be affirmed together.

The strongest biblical parallel appears in the psalmist’s declaration that the Lord has done great things and that his people are glad. That connection closely matches both the pre-chorus and hook, joining remembrance of God’s deeds with present joy. The description of God as worthy of the highest praise also reflects the Psalms’ repeated insistence that the Lord’s greatness deserves abundant praise. Through its compact structure, the song moves in a clear sequence: God’s character is acclaimed, his works are remembered, and gladness follows. Its repetitions reinforce gratitude and keep the focus on God’s holiness and deeds.
