Majesty
Majesty, worship His majesty,
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and

Flow from His throne
Unto His own,

Magnify,

Majesty, worship His Majesty,
Jesus Who died, now
glorified,
King of all kings
Jesus Who died, now glorified
King of all kings.

Among its many
components, worship includes an attentive and extended mediation on
God's attributes, such as patience,love, holiness, and
justice. We understand these characteristics because they
have been described and demonstrated in God's Word and because we
find them dimly echoed in ourselves.
The word
majesty describes a reflected part of
God's nature that emphasizes how different our Creator is from
us. The Authorized Version used the word twenty-seven
times to convey words that can also be translated excellence,
greatness, and honor. Majesty is not a quality of God that we
observe primarily with our senses, but with our spirit.
Majesty helps narrow our attention from worship as a general
attitude to worship as a specific awareness of one overwhelming fact
about God--His divine, royal position.
Even if we can't define
majesty, the setting in the chorus allows us to grasp the
meaning. Words like glory, honor, praise, kingdom
authority, and glorify all point to Jesus'
exalted position and role. The word majesty remains
part of our worship vocabulary because we worship the King of
kings. Even, and perhaps especially, among people who no
longer use royalty as their social order, majesty helps
describe one of those qualities of God we are not charged to
imitate, but to deeply appreciate.
The Lord reigns, He is robed in
majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and is armed with
strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be
moved.
