Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angels passing around me
Here i stand in awe of your beauty
Captured by your holiness
Lift up your eyes
All of heaven's in worship
Angels rejoice and the clouds will be filled
With the wonder of your name
The train of his robe fills the temple with glory
Heavenly hosts fall before him in worship
Crying Holy,Holy,Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty
These lyrics are a beautiful depiction of a person standing in the presence of the Lord and being in awe of the beauty and holiness surrounding them. The singer sees heaven before them and angels passing around, creating a sense of wonder and amazement. The next line "Here I stand in awe of your beauty, captured by your holiness" perfectly conveys the overwhelming sense of reverence and surrender one feels in front of the divine.
The chorus, "Lift up your eyes, all of heaven's in worship, angels rejoice and the clouds will be filled with the wonder of your name," encourages the listener to take a moment to lift their eyes to the heavens, where all of creation is in worship before the Lord. The imagery of the clouds being filled with the wonder of His name creates a beautiful picture of how even the elements of the earth respond to His glory.
The final verse speaks of the train of His robe filling the temple with glory, and how the heavenly hosts fall before Him in worship, crying out "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty." These lyrics serve to glorify God and offer worship to Him, acknowledging the unmatched and unparalleled nature of His holiness and power.
