Asbury began leading worship at his church in North Carolina at the age of 17. Even as a kid, music has always had a profound impact on him, "I'd find a CD that I really loved, that really moved my heart and just sit in my room, silent and still and just listen." He was originally planning to attend UNC Chapel Hill when the Lord redirected his path. Through a few friends who had just graduated the onething internship in Kansas City, he was encouraged to go and check it out for himself. "Thinking the internship was solely dedicated to raising up young worship leaders, I decided to come. I soon found that the Lord had tricked me into something much bigger than myself." During this internship each intern was required to sit in the prayer room for long hours each day. After 6 months he "realized that this was what I was made for. To sit before Him and love Him."
Asbury says that his songs usually begin with a gentle nudge or whisper from the Holy Spirit that arises out of tenderness in quiet time with God. "Usually, the Holy Spirit will give me a melody or a chord progression and that's where it all begins. From there, I continue to ask Him what He's saying...I ask, 'How can I express what I am feeling through music?'" His goal through his music is that hearts would fall more in love with Jesus, and that a deep longing to know and love Him more would be awakened, "That when people listen to my songs, they would find themselves in His presence. That people would know the delight of God over them and truly find enjoyment in spending time with Him." Cory, who currently leads worship six times a week with co-leader Matt Gilman, is married to Anna Asbury, a prophetic singer and dancer at the House of Prayer. He has dedicated his life to fasting, prayer and worship, for the raising up of houses of prayer all across the world.

Cory Asbury's song titled Hallelujah serves as a declaration of the hope and faith that Christians hold on to about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The song starts with an intro full of conviction, stating that the singer believes that they will witness the coming of the Kingdom of God and the spread of his glory all over the earth. Jesus Christ is given all the praises, as he is the King of the earth. The repetition of the phrase "We believe our eyes will see" indicates the unwavering faith that Christians have in the return of Jesus, and the fulfillment of God's promise to his people.
The chorus part of the song begins with an affirmation of the promise of eternal life in Christ, with no more tears, pain, or death when believers finally see Jesus face to face. The repetition of the phrase "No more tears, no more pain" serves as a reminder of the hope that lies ahead for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. The climax of the song is the repetition of the word 'Hallelujah,' which means 'praise the Lord.' The repetition of the word is the singer's expression of gratitude and awe for the gift of eternal life that Christ offers.

Aleluia Sem Fim
Na manhã, quando eu me levanto para te encontrar
Na manhã, quando eu levanto meus olhos
Você é o único a quem eu quero me apegar
Você é o primeiro pensamento em minha mente
Deixe nossas vozes subir
Toda a criação chora
Cantando um aleluia sem fim
De agora em diante
Juntos com a canção do céu
Cantando um aleluia sem fim
Nos momentos em que você não é notado
No dia a dia
Incontáveis milagres de vida nos cercam
Apontam como flechas para o teu nome
Apenas um momento para viver esta vida
Como estrelas cadentes queimando na noite
Até que o céu seja aberto e chegamos
Em sua presença senhor
Na sua presença
À noite, quando me deito
À noite, quando fecho meus olhos
Tu és o único a quem eu quero me apegar
És o último pensamento em minha mente
Não há nada melhor
Não há nada melhor
Não há nada melhor
Do que isso agora

A French translation for those interested:
Quand au matin, je m’éveille_et te vois
Quand au matin, je lè-ve les yeux
C'est à toi seul que mon coeur s'atta-che
C'est à toi que je pense_en premier
Que nos voix s'élèvent
Avec l’univers
Chantons un éternel alléluia
Depuis cet instant
Joignons-nous aux anges
Chantons un éternel alléluia
Quand parfois je ne sens plus ta présence
Dans mes habitu-des quotidiennes
Tes mira-cles innombra-bles révèlent
Que ton Nom seul est élevé
Que nos voix s'élèvent
Avec l'univers
Chantons un éternel alléluia
Depuis cet instant
Joignons-nous aux anges
Chantons un éternel alléluia
Le bref instant de cet-te vie
Éclai-re la nuit comme_une_étoile
Le ciel s’ouvrira et nous serons
Dans ta présence, Dieu
Dans ta présence...
Que nos voix s'élèvent
Avec l'univers
Chantons un éternel alléluia
Depuis cet instant

Verse 1
In the morning when I rise to meet You
In the morning when I lift my eyes
You’re the only One I wanna cling to
You’re the first thought on my mind
Chorus
Let our voices rise
All creation cries
Singing out an endless alleluia
From this moment on
Join with Heaven’s song
Singing out an endless alleluia
Verse 2
In the moments where You go unnoticed
In the ordinary day to day
Countless miracles of life around us
Point like arrows to Your name
Bridge
Only a moment to live this life
Like shooting stars burning up the night
Till Heaven’s opened and we arrive
In Your presence Lord
In Your presence
Verse 3
In the evening when I lay my head down
In the evening when I close my eyes
You’re still the only One I wanna cling to
You’re the last thought on my mind

There’s nothing better
There’s nothing better
There’s nothing better
Than this right now

De manhã, quando me levanto ao seu encontro
De manhã, quando levanto os olhos
Você é a luz suave que cai em torno de mim
Você é o primeiro pensamento em minha mente
Deixe nossas vozes se elevarem
Toda a criação chora
Cantar um aleluia sem fim
De agora em diante
Junte-se à música do céu
Cantar um aleluia sem fim
Nos momentos em que você passa despercebido
No dia a dia comum
Inúmeros milagres da vida ao nosso redor
Apontar setas para o seu nome
Apenas um momento para viver esta vida
Como estrelas cadentes queimando a noite
Até o céu está aberto e chegamos
Na sua presença senhor
Na sua presença
Não há nada melhor
Não há nada melhor
Não há nada melhor
Do que isso agora
À noite, quando eu deito minha cabeça
À noite quando eu fecho meus olhos
Você ainda é o único que eu quero me apegar
Você é o último pensamento em minha mente

Good morning Holy Spirit
"In the morning when I rise to meet You, You're the only One I want to cling to."
When I think of Your goodness, my soul says Alleluia!

Blessed children, family and prayer warriors.

"Only a moment, Lord
Only a moment here and now
Only a moment to choose You
Only a moment to choose life
Only a moment to offer You a sacrifice of praise
Only a moment to join the endless alleluia…
On this side
Because soon
Very soon
We will arrive
We will be part of the heavenly chorus… Eternally"
