You and me were meant to be a little lower than the angels
And on this ground I have found, finally found the reason
To sing glory, to sing glory
I long to walk hand in hand down a golden road with Father
Where choirs of angels praise His name and I want to learn
To sing glory, to sing glory
And I can’t find the words to say
Life gets in the way
Lord You know my heart’s desire
When it all comes down
To what You are
Words cannot convey
When it all comes down
To who You are
Words get in the way
Can’t find the words to say
Life gets in the way
Lord, it is my heart's desire
To sing Glory
When it all comes down
To what You are
Words get in the way

Behind the Song:'Some songs just kind of fall into your lap, and ‘Glory’ was one of those songs. We played around with this musical idea, and it fell together in a matter of minutes. It just sort of sang itself. It’s kind of a rock and roll worship song. It’s about realizing that our reason for existing is to glorify God, and how we find our place in the world when we lift up the name of Jesus. It’s a cool way to capture that moment when you realize how great God is.' - Mark Stuart (
