Glorious
Darlene Zschech Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaches beyond the heavens
I will praise, I will praise
Your love is better than life
Your name alone satisfies
I will sing, I will sing
You are my love
I am found in You
Your holiness, Your majesty
Your presence fills my life
And the earth will shake
The skies light up
They join with us
Live to make Your praises glorious
No longer I who lives
It's Christ who lives in me
I am Yours, I am Yours
I'm planted deep within You
My heart and soul will sing
Forever more, forever more
[chorus:]
I want to taste of your mercy
I want to drink in your life
I want to rest in your fullness
I want to run in your light
Oh breathe in me
Oh breathe in me, Breath of Life
Touch me with your burning coal
Place it to my lips and let it blaze into my soul
Woe is me, for I am undone
My eyes have seen the majesty of the Holy One
I want to taste of your mercy
I want to drink in your life
I want to rest in your fullness
I want to run in your light
Oh breathe in me
Oh breathe in me, Breath of Life
The lyrics of Darlene Zschech's song "Glorious" are a beautiful description of the overwhelming power and beauty of God's love, and the transforming effect it has on those who are open to experiencing it. The opening lines of the song declare that God's love endures forever and reaches beyond the heavens, emphasizing the infinite nature of God's love. The singer expresses her desire to praise God and to sing about His love, which she believes to be better than life itself.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the singer's personal relationship with God. She confesses that God is her God, her song, and her love, and that she is found in Him. She is filled with awe and reverence at His holiness and majesty, and acknowledges that His presence fills her life. The imagery of the earth shaking and the skies lighting up as they join with the singer to make God's praises glorious are very powerful and convey a sense of the all-encompassing nature of this worshipful experience.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's heart's desire to experience more of God. She wants to taste of His mercy, drink in His life, and rest in His fullness. She longs to run in His light and be filled with His breath of life. The final stanza refers to the biblical story of Isaiah, who was touched by a burning coal placed to his lips as a sign of God's purification and calling. The singer similarly desires to be touched by God, to be purified by His fire, and to be transformed into a vessel of His glory.
