[Verse 1]
In the middle of the mess, there is majesty
In the middle of my chest, is the King of Kings
While the world was waiting on
A change to come along
Light broke in
Coming like a song
[Chorus]
All this glory
All this glory
All this glory
In the middle of the night, all this light
In the middle of the night, all this light here
[Verse 2]
In the middle of the night, You are majesty
To the middle of our plight, came the King of Kings
While we were waiting on, Your love to come along
Light broke in
Coming like a Son
[Chorus]
All this glory
All this glory
All this glory
All this glory
In the middle of the night, all this light
In the middle of the night, all this light
In the middle of the night, all this light
In the middle of the night, after all is quiet
[Bridge]
Jesus, God with us
Jesus Christ has come, and I'm undone
Jesus, God with us
Jesus Christ has come, and I'm undone
All this glory
All this glory
All this glory
All this glory
Here
[Outro]
Jesus, God with us
Jesus Christ has come, and I'm undone
Jesus, God with us
Jesus Christ has come, and love has won
All This Glory
Song Meaning
Crowder writes "All This Glory" from inside an ordinary night rather than a grand pronouncement — "In the middle of the mess, there is majesty," "in the middle of the night, all this light." The Christmas story he's retelling gets no elaborate scene-setting; instead the song insists the incarnation happened in the middle of the least remarkable-looking circumstances, mess included, not despite them.
"Jesus, God with us" is the title's real content, a direct echo of Immanuel from Isaiah's prophecy and Matthew's Gospel — not a title given after the fact but the name itself. The repeated "and I'm undone" keeps the song personal rather than purely doctrinal; it's less a statement about who Jesus is in general and more a specific reaction to that fact landing.
By the final chorus the phrase shifts from "I'm undone" to "love has won," moving the song from astonishment to resolution without abandoning either — the light that broke in during the middle of the night is still the light the song ends on.
