Your Majesty
Rupert Gregson-Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you finally find yourself hiding deep in something else?
And did the weather turn to grey?
Leave you standing all alone, broke and frozen to the bone?
Don't you hang your head and cry
Just make a joyful noise to the maker of all time
SING!
My God, I'm yours. Lead me through your open doors
And close the ones not meant for me
My God, I'm yours teach me to love you so much more
And trust I'm where I'm meant to be... to reveal your majesty
The road below is littered thick
With dreams no longer used by those who gave up on the path God chose
So I'll find mine and swallow quick
Lord come and light my way
Lead me into brighter days
And if my dreams taste bittersweet
They're better on my tongue than at my feet
SING!
My God, I'm yours
Lead me through your open doors
And close the ones not meant for me
My God, I'm yours teach me to love you so much more
And trust I'm where I'm meant to be... to reveal your majesty.....
Teach me to kneel before the king and sing
My God, I'm yours
Lead me through your open doors
And close the ones not meant for me
My God, I'm yours teach me to love you so much more
And trust I'm where I'm meant to be... to reveal your majesty
The lyrics of "Your Majesty" by Rupert Gregson-Williams speak to the experiences of feeling lost, searching for purpose, and finding solace and guidance in a higher power. The song opens with questions about whether the listener has lost their way and found themselves hiding in something else. The reference to the weather turning grey suggests a metaphorical shift in circumstances, leaving the person feeling alone, broken, and frozen in despair.
However, the chorus offers a message of hope and resilience. Instead of hanging one's head and crying, the lyrics encourage making a joyful noise and singing to the maker of all time. It is an invitation to find comfort and strength in a spiritual connection. The repetition of "My God, I'm yours" emphasizes surrendering oneself to a divine presence and allowing it to guide and shape one's journey.
The second verse reflects on the challenges faced along the path chosen by a higher power. The road is described as littered with dreams abandoned by those who gave up. Despite this, the lyrics express a determination to find and pursue one's own dreams, inviting the Lord to light the way and lead into brighter days.
The idea of dreams tasting bittersweet implies that pursuing them may not always be easy, but the fulfillment of dreams is preferred even if they may not turn out as expected. This sentiment adds depth to the theme of trusting in the divine plan and accepting one's place in it.
In the end, the lyrics urge the listener to learn how to kneel before the king and sing. This symbolizes the act of humbling oneself before a higher power, acknowledging its authority, and expressing devotion through music.
Overall, "Your Majesty" conveys a message of searching for purpose, finding solace in a higher power, and embracing the journey even when faced with challenges. It emphasizes the importance of trust, surrender, and the belief that one is meant to be where they are, ultimately leading to the revelation of divine majesty.
