Glory, glory Lord!
We give you glory Lord!
Glory, glory Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing His praise to the ends of the earth
Let every nation tell it
Till every man has heard

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Fitts's song "Glory Glory Lord" are a declaration of adoration and praise to God. The chorus "Glory, glory Lord! We give you glory Lord! Glory, glory Lord! You are the mighty God!" reflects the worshipper's awe and reverence towards the Almighty. The verses call on people from different places and backgrounds to join in this song of praise. The lines "You who go down to the sea, You who live in the islands, If you live in the city, Lift your voice and sing out" emphasize the universality of God's glory and the inclusive nature of worship.


The second verse urges the listener to "Sing to the Lord a new song, Sing His praise to the ends of the earth, Let every nation tell it, Till every man has heard." This suggests that the song's purpose is not only to edify the worshippers but also to spread the message of God's greatness to others. The use of different languages in the bridge, Hawaiian and Samoan, further underscores the idea that every tongue and tribe should praise God.


Overall, the song's lyrics are simple and direct, conveying a message of praise, unity, and evangelism. The repetition of the chorus and the straightforward melody make it easy to sing along and remember, which could potentially deepen the impact of the words on the worshipper's heart.
