Glory Be
Micah Tyler's 'Glory Be' is a worship song that celebrates God's redemptive work in the believer's life. The lyrics reflect on being found by God while still a sinner, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and the transformation from enemy to heir. It references Jacob's wrestling and the prodigal son, emphasizing surrender and gratitude. The song repeatedly gives glory to God for freeing the singer from self, and it closes with praise to the conqueror of the soul. The overall message is one of thanksgiving for salvation and the secure home found in God's arms.
God saw me found, while sinner still
He wore my wrath on Calvary's hill
The cost is life for all my debt
I was bought the day God bled
Once enemies, now heir of Christ
When mercy turned so jealous wild
And drowned my shame in forgetful seas
The wrath of God brought life to me
Glory be, Glory be
To the one who freed me from me
Then Jacob's God ran to my cry
And wrestled down all of my fight
And humbled all of my willful pride
This prodigal, now a grateful child
Glory be, Glory be
To the one who freed me from me
Oh praise the conquerer of my soul
The one who never let me go
My heart has found true love and home in the arms of God
Oh praise the conquerer of my soul
The one who never let me go
My heart has found true love and home in the arms of God
Glory be, Glory be
To the one who freed me from me from me
Glory be, Glory be
To the one who freed me from me from me
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
