Glory Only

Описание: “Glory Only” blends melodic indie pop with clean, Scripture-driven rap verses rooted in Jeremiah 9:23–26 and 1 Corinthians 1:26–31. The song declares that wisdom, power, and riches fade—but knowing Yahweh, who delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, is the true boast. Through testimony of being called at nine years old, and vivid biblical moments—Moses at the burning bush, Hannah’s prayer, Peter’s confession in Luke 5, and Nathanael under the fig tree—the track celebrates how God chooses the weak to reveal His glory. From a full preterist perspective, the Cross finished the work, the adversary no longer binds, and sons and daughters now live boldly to glorify God.

Full Lyrics

Intro (Soft melodic hook)
Not in wisdom, not in might…
Not in riches shining bright…
If I boast, let it be known—
I boast in You alone.

Verse 1 (Melodic)
Thus says Yahweh, hear His Word,
Don’t lift your name above the Lord.
Wise men fall and strong men fade,
Riches rust and trophies break.
“But let him who boasts boast in this—
That he knows Me,” don’t miss it—
Lovingkindness on the earth,
Justice, righteousness my worth.
He said He delights in these—
Not empty hearts on bended knees.
Circumcised yet hearts of stone,
He came to make His mercy known.

Pre-Chorus
Not by strength that I can raise,
Not by pride or human praise—
It’s all for You.

Chorus (Big Indie Pop Hook)
All the glory, glory only,
Every breath belongs to You.
You’re my wisdom, You’re my righteousness,
Everything You said is true.
The Cross declared it—it is done,
The victory already won.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My joy, my boast is You.

Verse 2 (Rap Section – steady beat)
Yeah, I was nine when You woke me up,
Conviction hit and I saw what was up.
Saw my sin, saw grace run deep,
Mercy found me, changed my sleep.
Life ain’t smooth, had hills and bends,
But You’ve been faithful through thick and thin.
Still praising, still reading Word,
Still talking to You, still being heard.
Moses ran forty years in sand,
Thought he buried what was planned.
But bush caught fire, ground turned holy,
Weak man chosen—glory only.
Hannah cried with empty hands,
Samuel stood at Your command—
“Speak, Lord,” little voice said clear,
You draw the humble near.

Chorus
All the glory, glory only,
Every breath belongs to You.
You’re my wisdom, You’re my righteousness,
Everything You said is true.
No adversary holds me bound,
Your finished Kingdom stands unshaken ground.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My joy, my boast is You.

Verse 3 (Rap + Melodic Blend)
Peter worked that net all night,
Zero catch by morning light.
Jesus said, “Cast it deep,”
Even when you’re worn from sleep.
“At Your word,” he let it go—
Nets tore wide, boats sank low.
He fell down, “Lord, depart from me—
I’m sinful,” truthfully.
But he saw more than fish that day—
He saw the Word in flesh displayed.
“Who do you say that I am?”
The Christ—the great I AM.
Nathanael under fig tree shade,
“You were seen before you came.”
“Rabbi, Son of God, my King!”
Heavens opened—everything.
Angels ascending, descending clear,
The Son of Man standing here—
Greater things they got to see,
Fulfilled reality.

Bridge (Atmospheric – stripped back beat)
Not many wise, not many strong,
But God chose what the world calls wrong.
So no flesh boasts before His throne—
All glory’s His alone.
Saved to glorify His name,
Not for pride, not for fame—
Sons and daughters lift Him high,
King of earth and sky.

Final Chorus (Lifted, layered vocals)
All the glory, glory only,
Every breath belongs to You.
You delight in steadfast love,
In justice pure and true.
The Cross still stands, the work complete,
All things placed beneath Your feet.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My joy, my boast is You.
Yes, my joy, my boast is You.
