Lyrics
We will dance, we will dance for Your glory,
We will dance, we will dance for Your glory,
We will dance for Your glory, Lord.
We will lift up a shout to adore You,
Every sound that we make, it is for You,
We will dance for Your glory, Lord.
For salvation's in this place,
You're the name by which we're saved: Jesus, Jesus.
Let Your name be lifted high,
As our thankful hearts now cry: Jesus, Jesus.
Lift up your heads, you ancient gates.
Be lifted up, you ancient doors:
The King is coming in, the King is coming in.
We lift up a shout to shake the skies.
Lift up a cry, 'be glorified!'
The King is coming in, the King is coming in.
We're the people of God with a song to sing,
And we're bringing our lives as an offering;
We will dance for Your glory, Lord.
And Your cross is the hope that we hold up high,
As we tell the whole world of Your love and life;
We will dance for Your glory, Lord.

Meaning & Inspiration
For Your Glory presents public praise as a full-life response to Jesus. Dancing, shouting, and singing become offerings of gratitude rather than background activities. The repeated name of Jesus keeps the celebration anchored in the one by whom salvation is found, while the cross is held up as a sign of hope and love. The song’s language is corporate, giving a gathered congregation shared words for adoration and proclamation.
The call to lift ancient gates draws directly on the royal procession of Psalm 24. That image gives the lyrics a sense of anticipation: the King of glory is coming in, and the gathered people stand ready to welcome him. The final movement expands praise outward by describing lives offered to God and a song that tells the world about Christ’s love and life. Worship therefore includes both visible celebration and faithful witness. The result is a joyful praise song in which voice, movement, gratitude, sacrifice, and mission all direct attention to God’s glory.
