Song Meaning
Andraé Crouch's classic gets a duet treatment from Natalie Grant, with CeCe Winans featured, and the opening question frames everything after it: “How can I say thanks / For the things you have done for me?” The answer arrives in the second verse, where even “the voices of a million angels / Could not express my gratitude.”
The chorus gives all credit away, repeating “To God be the glory” until it sounds like a vow, and the bridge says why: “with his blood he has saved me, with his power he has raised me.” The third verse asks that any praise coming her way “go to Calvary.” In this version a fourth verse turns to testimony (“when I look back over my life / I see your constant faithfulness”) and names Jesus directly.
Psalm 115:1, “Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory,” is the song's whole posture, and Ephesians 1:7, “In him we have redemption through his blood,” lines up with the bridge.

How can I say thanks
For the things you have done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet you gave to prove your love for me
[Verse 2]
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am
And ever hope to be
I owe it all, I owe it all to thee
[Chorus]
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things he has done
[Bridge]
And with his blood he has saved me
With his power he has raised me
To God be the glory
For the things he has done
[Verse 3]
Just let me live my life
And let it be pleasing, Lord, to thee
And if I gain any praise
Let it go to Calvary
[Bridge]
(Oh, I give it to Calvary)
With his blood he has saved me
With his power my God has raised me
To God be the glory
For the things he has done
[Verse 4]
For the things that you've done
For the way that you heal me
(You've been so good to me)
You have been good, so good
I can't explain it
See, when I look back over my life
I see your constant faithfulness
You've never failed me, Jesus
[Outro]
I gotta say thank you, thank you, thank you
We thank you, thank you, thank you
This is all for your glory
I wanna say thank you
For all the things you have done
