To Him Who Sits On the Throne
Keith Lancaster & the Acappella Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be praise and honor and glory and power To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
Be praise and honor and glory and power For ever and ever
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
Be praise and honor and glory and power
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
Be praise and honor and glory and power
For ever and ever
Be praise and honor and glory and power
Amen
The opening lines of the song, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb," directly refer to God and Jesus. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the power and majesty of the one being praised. The repetition also draws parallels between God and Jesus, literally calling Jesus the "Lamb" who sits on the throne with God.
The phrases "praise and honor and glory and power" are used repeatedly to describe the divine authority of God and Jesus. These are not just hollow words, but significant descriptors of what God and Jesus represent. "Praise" refers to the celebration of God and Jesus's divine nature, "honor" represents the respect that is due to them, while "glory" refers to the radiance and majesty that surrounds them. "Power" is perhaps the most significant term, implying that God and Jesus have control over all things - they are all encompassing and all powerful.
The final line of the song, "Amen," is a declaration of agreement and affirmation. It is the seal on the sentiments expressed in the song, verifying that the singer wholeheartedly agrees with the song's message of praise and power to God and Jesus.
