Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We run into Your courts
Just to fall into Your arms
Mercy, You are mercy
In Your presence, we′re undone
We are wrecked but we want more
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
Holy, You are holy
We run into Your courts
Just to fall into Your arms
Mercy, You are mercy
In Your presence, we're undone
We are wrecked but we want more
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The anointing of the Lord is covering like oil
The weight of Your glory rests upon us
You inhabit and surround us with Your grace
In supernatural, extraordinary ways
And do miracles that cannot be explained
Do what only You can do here as we praise
You inhabit and surround us with Your grace
In supernatural, extraordinary ways
And do miracles that cannot be explained
Do what only You can do here as we praise, oh
You inhabit and surround us with Your grace, Jesus
In supernatural, extraordinary ways
And do miracles that cannot be explained
Do what only You can do here as we praise
You inhabit and surround us with Your grace, oh
In supernatural, extraordinary ways
And do miracles that cannot be explained
Do what only You can do here
Do what only You can do here, oh
Do what only You can do here
Do what only You can do here
Do what only You can do here as we praise
Holy, You are holy
We run into Your courts
Just to fall into Your arms
Mercy, You are mercy
In Your presence, we′re undone
We are wrecked but we want more of You
In Charity Gayle's song "Weight of Your Glory", the lyrics express the Holy nature of God and the intense desire of the worshippers to experience more of His presence. The song begins by addressing God as holy and the worshippers running to enter His courts to fall into His arms, acknowledging His mercy. The chorus talks about the weight of God's glory that lays on top of the worshippers, and how His anointing covers them like oil. The anointing is the power that consecrates or sets apart for God's use, and it offers a sense of protection and guidance. Thus, the weight of God's glory, and His anointing upon the worshippers signify His presence being with them.
The second verse describes how God's grace surrounds and inhabits the worshippers in extraordinary ways, doing miracles that cannot be explained. The bridge, which repeats for almost the last two minutes of the song, emphasizes the worshippers' desire for God to do what only He can do as they praise Him. The song concludes with the chorus and the acknowledgement of the worshippers' desire to experience more of God despite being wrecked, recognizing the fulfillment that comes with being in God's presence.

on The Fire and The Rain
The sky is turning cold
as the winds begin to blow
The night the prophets told the clouds
to brew and gather close
The stories of the saints
Telling tales of dead bones raised
The intercessions stir and wake up
Fire and the rain
The bride is rising up
She's been waiting long enough
The lamps are lit, let the trumps begin
Oh come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
Things are about to change
The Earth is gonna shake
Cause every knee will hit the ground
and proclaim that Jesus reigns
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
The fire and the rain, the fire and the rain
Are coming down, coming down
to beckon for the day
The fire and the rain, the fire and the rain
Are coming down, coming down
to beckon for the day
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus, Jesus come
Yeah, come Lord Jesus
Oh, we need you, need you
Oh, Jesus come
