Majesty and the Glory
Joel Engle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord I tremble at Your word
As my heart and soul are stirred
In Your presence I am reverent
To give the honor You deserve

Oh the majesty and the glory of Your name
Is the name of Jesus
The majesty and the glory of Your name
Is the name of the Lord
We give You worship
We give You praise
To the glory of Your name

Lord I'm shaken by Your love
That You would send Your precious Son
To come to earth and purchase me
There's no other name so sweet

Every knee will bow, Every tongue confess




Every knee will bow, Every tongue confess
You are Lord, You are Lord
