Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By your wondrous glory
Struck by the way it's consuming me
And I embrace
This feeling deep within me
Worshiping you is my destiny
There's no end to your majesty
Your glory goes on and on and on and on
It's never gonna fade away
It keeps going on and on and in and on
Forever will your glory reign
No matter what
I'm gonna keep on living
Even when times get the best of me
Cause I'm in love
With the king of heaven
Whose glory goes on for eternity
And I will proclaim so that all the world will see
[Chorus]
Lord I tremble with the truth

There's no end to what you'll do
For your glory
