Story Behind The Song
ASCRIBE TO YOU
Words and Music by Sonja S. Key
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His Name.." 1 Chron. 16:29
Ascribe to You was written at an Integrity Music's Songwriting Retreat. One of the lessons assigned to us was to write a song based on Scripture. They presented us with a list of several scriptures from which I chose I Chronicles 16:29. The first line from the scripture was the inspiration for the chorus...
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name..."
This scripture reminds us to give glory to the Lord because of His great name. He is worthy of all our praise.
"...Forever the cross is imprinted on my heart
the vision of your suffering
always before my face..."
By bringing to Him our sacrifice of praise, we will never forget the great price He paid for our salvation.

Lyrics
ASCRIBE TO YOU
Words and Music by Sonja S. Key
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His Name.." 1 Chron. 16:29
Verse 1:
Lord You are worthy
Of glory honor and praise
My lips will bless You
No matter the cost
I will honor the cross
I will sacrifice to You
The honor You are due
I will ascribe to You
The glory due Your Name
Chorus:
Ascribe to You the glory due Your Name
Recount Your works to the nations
Spread Your fame
I will magnify
Lift You high
Tell of Your renown
I will ascribe to You
The glory due your Name
Bridge:
Forever the cross is imprinted on my heart
The vision of Your suffering
Always before my face
Such matchless love
Demands my praise
I will magnify
Lift You high
Tell of Your renown
I will ascribe to You
The glory due Your Name
