Music Lyrics – Christian
I was thinking about one of posts that I made yesterday about how I love that a lot of Hillsong songs focus on who God is, instead of who we are. And it made me think about a song from Hillsong United from one of my favourite songwriters Brooke Fraser – Lord Of Lords.
This song is amazing and it really paints a picture of who God really is and how He is the not just the Lord, but the Lord of Lords.
If you haven’t heard it, here are the lyrics – I will continue my thoughts about the lyrics after.
LORD OF LORDS – Hillsong Lyrics
Beholding your beauty is all I long for
To worship You Jesus with my soul’s desire
For this very heart you’ve shaped for your pleasure
The purpose to lift your name high
Hear and surrender in pure adoration
I enter your courts with an offering of praise
I am Your servant come to bring you glory
As is fit for the work of your hands
Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords
The spirit now living and dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed ever upon Jesus’ face
Let not the things of this world ever sway me
I’ll run ’till I finish the race
Singing unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise the Lord
Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of eternity echoes the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords
Holy Lord
You are Holy
Jesus Christ is the Lord
Who God Is
This song paints an amazing picture of who God is:
- Our Personal Creator (this very heart you’ve shaped for your pleasure)
- Our Saviour King (Lamb who sits on the throne)
- The Lord Of Lords
- Holy (Holy Lord, You are Holy)
Don’t these lyrics paint such a complete view of who God is? That He not only created us and rules over everything, but He gave that up to save us. Isn’t that worth singing ‘Holy’ about?
