Hi!!
Laid off blogging "new songs" for quite some time. Well, in this edition, I'm introducing another songs written by Martin Smith/Stu G, Delirious. It's not a new song but when John came up to me with song sheets to "Majesty", it kinda triggered this sharing.
When I first heard "Majesty", it wasn't the melody that first caught my attention but the lyrics. These are words penned down by someone who knows/relates to the great price his salvation was ransomed by God and how in response to His Majesty, we live aligning our desires to that of God.
Verse1
Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb
Pre-Chorus:
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice
Chorus:
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty
Verse 2
Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire
Pre-Chorus:
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice
Chorus
------------------------------------------------------------
In tandem, I'll share another song which to me is a follow-up (a response) to having sung Majesty. It's titled Endlessly, written by Jon Egan, Desperation Band. Once again, it's the lyrics that caught my attention. It sings like a prayer from my heart and I hope it will be so with you. Analogy: If you have a treasure box in your heart? what will it contain? Your favourite viedo game? Your career? Your girlfriend/boyfriend? Or will Jesus fill up the whole box?
Lets read through the lyrics ... and dun get carried away with the "performance". : )
Verse
Savior of my soul
Lover of my life
I love you endlessly
Passion of my heart
Everything you are
I love you endlessly
Pre chorus
You loved me before I knew of You
You loved me now I give it back to You
Chorus
With Your Majesty here
I fall to my knees
I love You endlessly
With the Beauty of Your Son
I find myself undone
I love You endlessly
Outro
Endlessly, I love You
Delirious - Majesty
And ... for anyone who likes to play the song ....
