The story behind “God Be The Glory” by We Are Messengers

Story behind the song “God Be The Glory”:

“This is a song that reminds us that God is turning all of our mourning into laughter, all of our sorrow into joy, and He’s turning our feet toward dancing. So whatever situation you find yourself in today — whether that be in great happiness or great sorrow — remember this, that God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes, for His glory and our good.”

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Lyrics to “God Be The Glory”:

When the ground beneath my feet
Is shaking like a leaf
God, You're still good to me

When my hope is all but gone
And I'm barely hanging on
God, You're still good to me

When my heart can't find the beat
When it's dark and I can't see
I will put my hope in You

I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade, to God be the glory
To God be the glory

I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade, let this be my story
To God be thе glory, oh

You love mе at my best
You love me in my mess
God, You're so good to me

There's one thing I am sure
Your promises endure
You make a way for me

When my heart can't find the beat
When it's dark and I can't see
I will put my hope in You

I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade, to God be the glory
To God be the glory

I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade, let this be my story
To God be the glory

to God be the glory
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And whatever comes my way
I will always praise Your name
I will put my hope in You
When I run into Your courts
I will fall into Your arms
I will sing a song of praise

I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade, to God be the glory (forever and ever)
To God be the glory

I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade, let this be my story (forever and ever)
To God be the glory

I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade (I'll trade) joy for my mourning
I'll trade, to God be the glory
To God be the glory

I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade, let this be my story
To God be the glory
