I Stand In Awe
Bob Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful of comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp you infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above

And I stand, I stand in awe of you
I stand, I stand in awe of you

Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of you.

I Stand in Awe of You brings tears to my eyes, still. Jesus raised me from my deathbed at age 35 on Christmas Eve, 1985 after a backslidden life of immorality and partying. All praise is due to Him alone. He gave my life back to me and here I stand, 73 yrs old, a still full life only found in Him and looking for His soon-appearing! Are you ready?!

I have enjoyed reading the comments so much and itโ€™s blessed me to see that so many others miss this kind of worship in the church. Singing TO the Lord, singing about HIM, making HIM the focus and not me. How I miss those days of worship.
