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."
I Embrace You
Shekinah Glory Ministry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I worship You, Lord in the beauty of holiness.
I worship You, Lord and I give You praise.
I worship You, Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Lord, I give You praise
for it's You that I embrace.
ChorusI adore You Father,
I appreciate Your love,
I embrace Your presence,
I embrace Your spirit,
I embrace Your Holy name;
for it's You that I embrace.
The lyrics of Shekinah Glory Ministry's song I Embrace You are a beautiful ode to the unconditional love and devotion that the singer has for the Lord. In the opening verse, the singer declares that they worship the Lord not just for the sake of it, but in the beauty of holiness. This suggests that their worship is sacred and sincere, and that they find beauty and purity in the act of praising God. The singer goes on to declare that they give the Lord praise, once again emphasizing the strong emotional connection they have with God.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the sentiment expressed in the first verse, with the singer once again declaring their adoration for the Father, appreciation for His love, and embrace of His presence, spirit, and Holy name. The use of the word 'embrace' is a powerful choice, suggesting that the singer is not just acknowledging God's greatness or paying Him lip service, but is actively and wholeheartedly accepting and embracing all that the Lord has to offer.
