Glorious

I was out for a run last night, and this song shuffled into my music mix. Its bpm is perfect for the speed I typically run at, and I found myself pushing forward with more energy with every step. Here's the problem though: I CANNOT help but sing along with this song! There I was...out on the trail...singing and running. Well, to be honest, I wasn't really successful at doing either one combined together like that. So it didn't take long for me to stop singing. Instead, I just found myself smiling and raising my hands in worship. It's a good thing I didn't pass too many people. They would've gotten a good show.

FYI: if you ever see me smiling while I'm out on the trail, I can guarantee it has NOTHING to do with the fact that I'm running. :-)





We look to You, eyes upon Your cross
We live for You, and count it all as loss
We hold on to You, knowing You have overcome
We trust You, giving up our hearts
We wait for You, knowing You will come
We belong to You, You have given life to us
Great is Your name and we give You praise

You are Glorious, high above the heavens
You are Glorious, in brilliance unapproachable
And marvelous
We await our Savior, Glorious

No enemy can keep us from You
Our victory, anchored in truth
More than conquerors, in You we will overcome

You are Glorious, high above the heavens
You are Glorious, in brilliance unapproachable
And marvelous
We await our Savior

Sovereign King, over all things
We give You honor
Humbly You came, forever You reign

You are Glorious, high above the heavens
You are Glorious, in brilliance unapproachable
And marvelous
We await our Savior, Jesus
High above the heavens
You are Glorious, in brilliance unapproachable
And marvelous
We await our Savior, Glorious
You are glorious

Hey! This is a great song! I'm definitely adding it to my running playlist. Do you know who it's by?

Yes! It's NewSpring Worship. They have two albums out, and it's on both. But this version is off of the "Our God Is Love" album.
