Majesty


The song "Majesty," written by well-known pastor Jack Hayford, celebrates Christ's triumphant victory over death. It calls Christians to come to the throne of God and offer unending praise, a scene reminiscent of the elders' worship of Christ in Revelation chapter 5.

This same worship of our Lord can be found as well in 1 Chronicles. Here King David leads his people in heart-felt worship of the King of kings. As David worships, he proclaims the wonderful works of God and extols his matchless character: "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty" (1 Chron. 29:11).

As you read these words, reflect on the generations of faithful believers who will one day join us in a powerful chorus of praise to the Lord, proclaiming: "May you be praised forever and ever!" (1Chron. 29:10).

Majesty, worship His majesty;
Unto Jesus be all glory, power, and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority
Flow from His throne unto His own,
His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus;
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.
Majesty, worship His majesty;
Jesus, who died, now glorified,
King of all kings.
