My Tribute (To God Be the Glory)

Theology & Meaning

Andraé Crouch's classic doxological confession that all glory belongs to God alone—particularly in response to personal redemption. The phrase 'to God be the glory for the things He has done' is both doxology and testimony: the singer has experienced what they are declaring.

Worship Leadership Tips

One of the most enduring songs of the gospel tradition with broad cross-denominational acceptance. Works for Thanksgiving, testimonies, or any service celebrating what God has done. The song bridges generations—older believers know it deeply, younger believers respond to its gospel warmth.

Arrangement Tips

Full gospel choir arrangement—piano, organ, rhythm section, and layered backing vocals. The iconic ascending line on 'How can I say thanks' sets up the declarative chorus beautifully. Allow the choir to take the song; if no choir is available, a simple piano version still ministers powerfully.
