LORD HOW MAJESTIC YOU ARE,
My eyes meet Your gaze
And my burden is lifted.
Your word is a l to my feet,
Your hand swift to bless
And Your banner a shield.
You are my everything,
You who made earth and sky and sea,
All that You’ve placed inside of me
Calls out Your name.
To You I bow,
The King who commands my every breath,
The Man who has conquered sin and death,
My Lord and my King,
My everything!
Lord, how resplendent You are,
When I think of Your heavens,
The work of Your fingers-
What is man, that You are mindful of him?
Yet You’ve crowned him with glory
And caused him to reign!
