Glory To God
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my dream I saw you touch my heart
All at once I was still
A peace within me that could not compare to
All I'd known and all I'd seen
Your touch gave me life
And now I sing
I'll praise you now and ever
Your love floods my thirsty soul
All majesty and power
Are yours Almighty Father
Great is your Holy name
I've been thinking of you
In my thoughts I heard you call my name
I felt a stirring within
A new beginning and a new found passion
It made me call out your name
With a desire to see all men saved
Holy
Holy
Holy
is the Lord God Almighty
You reign
You reign over the earth
The lyrics to Planetshakers' song “Glory to God” express a deep spiritual longing and a personal encounter with God. The opening lines, “I've been dreaming of you / In my dream I saw you touch my heart,” suggest a vision or mystical experience. The dreamer is touched by God in a way that brings stillness, peace, and new life. The refrain “Glory to God forever / I'll praise you now and ever” is a joyful expression of worship and gratitude to God who has changed the dreamer's life.
The second verse describes a similar encounter, but this time through the power of the spoken word. The listener hears God calling their name, which stirs up a new passion and desire to see all people saved. The lyrics then shift to a declaration of God's holiness and sovereignty: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty / You reign over the earth.” The song ends with a repetition of the refrain, emphasizing the singer's commitment to worship God forever.
Overall, “Glory to God” is a powerful anthem of praise and trust in God's transformative power. The lyrics speak to the deep human need for spiritual connection and the joy that comes from encountering the divine.
