Meaning & Inspiration
Uche Agu’s impactful praise anthem, "We Give You Glory Lord As We Honor You," released on June 21, 2013, immediately establishes itself as a foundational declaration of worship. This song strips away complexity to reveal the pure essence of devotion, inviting every voice to join in a unified expression of reverence. Its profound simplicity is not a limitation but its greatest strength, making it an accessible and deeply meaningful statement for believers across generations and denominations. The narrative behind such a song is not one of intricate storytelling, but rather a universal human experience: the spontaneous overflow of a heart captivated by the divine. It represents the very core of why we worship—to acknowledge, declare, and ascribe worth to the Creator. It is the spiritual heartbeat of a community recognizing the greatness of God.
The message of "We Give You Glory Lord As We Honor You" resonates with a timeless biblical truth: that God alone is worthy of all praise. The opening lines, "We give you glory Lord, As we honor you," are more than just words; they are an active posture of the soul. To "give glory" to the Lord is not to add to His inherent splendor, but to reflect and proclaim it, bringing into human consciousness the magnificence that already exists in Him. This act echoes Psalm 29:2, which commands us to "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness." Our honor then becomes the tangible expression of this inner conviction, demonstrating our esteem and reverence through our lives, our adoration, and our obedience. Proverbs 3:9 reminds us of a practical dimension to this honor, urging us to "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce," indicating that true honor permeates every aspect of existence, not just moments of singing.
The declaration "You are wonderful, You are worthy oh Lord" further unpacks the divine attributes that inspire such a response. God’s wonder is not a mere human perception but an undeniable reality woven into the fabric of creation and salvation history. From the intricate design of the universe to the miraculous acts of deliverance, His wonderful works are everywhere, as celebrated in Psalm 139:14, "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." This divine wonder culminates in the person of Jesus, prophetically named "Wonderful Counselor" in Isaiah 9:6, revealing the depth of God's character and His plan for humanity. Simultaneously, the assertion of God’s worthiness anchors our worship in His intrinsic value and His redemptive work. Revelation 4:11 declares, "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." And in Revelation 5:9-10, this worthiness is expanded to include His sacrificial act: "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation." This song, therefore, serves as a powerful reminder of God’s sovereignty as Creator and His infinite love as Redeemer, solidifying the grounds for our worship. The repetition within the song serves not as redundancy but as a meditative reinforcement, allowing the worshiper to deeply internalize these profound truths and articulate a consistent, unwavering devotion to the One who is truly wonderful and eternally worthy.
