The lyrics of Maranatha! Praise Band's song "We Praise You For Your Glory" are a declaration of praise and adoration to God. The opening lines, "Glory to God in the highest, Peace to His people on earth" are a direct reference to the angels' announcement in Luke 2:14 during Jesus' birth. The song then acknowledges God as "Almighty God the Father, The Heavenly King" further emphasizing the greatness of the one being praised.
The second verse shifts the focus to Jesus, describing him as "our Lord and Savior! Ruling in glory above. Author of life and Creator of infinite love." The lyrics here identify Jesus' divine nature and continue to praise him for his greatness. The subsequent lines "We call on you now for mercy, We pray for your healing within" serves as a reminder that the glory and power of God can also provide healing and forgiveness.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, followed by a declaration of thanks and worship to God for his glory. The song ends with a final affirmation that God alone is the Holy one, signifying his supreme sovereignty and the magnitude of his greatness.
