Shekinah Glory Ministry's ultimate purpose is reflected in the meaning of its name -- to usher listeners into the "very manifest presence of God." Shekinah Glory Ministry (SGM) is not comprised of "recording artists," but servants that worship every Sunday as the praise and worship aggregate of Valley Kingdom Ministries International, a non-denominational church in the
Chicagoland area where Apostle H. Daniel Wilson serves as Senior Pastor.
This group of 21st century psalmists, minstrels, karar, encouragers and banner bearers, operate under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Though they continue to minister each Sunday at their local church, SGM also has ministered with such renowned artists as Bishop T.D. Jakes, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ, Albertina Walker, Kirk Franklin,
Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, Cece Winans and Vickie Winans . . . to name a few. The ministry also has appeared on secular and ministry venues nationally and internationally -- including: New York's KISS-FM 9-11Unity Concert at Madison Square Garden, Sao Paulo Brazil's Pacembe Soccer Stadium, World Congress Center, T.D. Jakes' MEGAFEST in Atlanta,GA, Gospel Superfest
in New York, Million More March in Washington, DC (broadcast live on CNN and CSPAN), Stellar Award Showcase, Barbados
Gospelfest, TBN's Praise the Lord, Juanita Bynum's Threshing Floor and many other forums.
Shekinah Glory's worship style incorporates a unique variety of ballads and contemporary praise and worship selections.
Unrehearsed prophetic worship and spiritual warfare selections are birthed during their recordings and appearances.
The ministry has traveled nationally and internationally teaching local praise teams the songs of Shekinah Glory.
SGM's premiere recording, "Praise is What I Do" was certified Gold by RIAA and is reaching Platinum. The PIWID concept video has appeared on BET Gospel and Lift Every Voice. Ultimately, the CD received local, national and international success and was included on the WOW Gospel 2003 CD which was certified Gold and Platinum.
SGM's second live praise and worship double CD, SHEKINAH GLORY MINISTRY LIVE, was released and immediately hit
BILLBOARD charts where it remained for over 103 weeks and has reached gold status. Praise and worship songs from this
release, including "YES" and "HIGHER" are still being played across the nation on independent and syndicated radio stations. This project also earned SGM nominations as a finalist for the 2005-06 Stellar Awards in the category of "CHOIR OF THE YEAR."
Shekinah Glory Ministry was blessed to sing on two exclusive BET events; The Bobby Jones Gospel and Celebration of Gospel hosted by Steve Harvey.
Shekinah Glory Ministry's new live recording, "JESUS", will be in stores on September 25th.
Shekinah Glory Ministry is dedicated to "piercing the kingdom of darkness and enlarging the Kingdom of God."
How Deeply I Need You
Shekinah Glory Ministry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here is my life, I lay it before you
Where else would I go?
What else would I do?
If I did not know you?
How deeply I need you
How deeply I need you, my lord
Like the desert needs the rain, I need you
Like the ocean needs the streams, I need you
Like the morning needs the sun, I need you
Lord you are my only one
In every way, and every day
I need you
The lyrics to the song "How Deeply I Need You" by Shekinah Glory Ministry are an expression of complete surrender and dependence on God. The singer acknowledges that they have nothing else to offer but their heart and life to God. They recognize that without Him they would be lost and helpless. In the chorus, the singer emphasizes how deeply they need God in their life, using the metaphor of the desert needing rain, the ocean needing streams, and the morning needing the sun. The singer affirms that God is their only one, the source of their strength and hope.
The song draws from the Psalms, where David repeatedly declares his need for God. In Psalm 63:1, David writes, "O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land." The theme of longing for God and recognizing Him as the only source of true fulfillment is echoed throughout the Bible. The song can be seen as an invitation to listeners to examine their own hearts and see their need for God in their lives.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written and performed by Shekinah Glory Ministry, a worship group from Chicago, Illinois. The group is known for its energetic and passionate worship style, which has influenced many other worship groups. "How Deeply I Need You" is one of their most popular and enduring songs, and has been covered by many other artists.
Another interesting fact is that the song has been translated into Spanish, German, and other languages, reflecting its wide popularity and appeal. The song has been performed in many different contexts, from small church services to large-scale conferences and events.
Here are the chord progressions for the song (as played in the key of C):
