YOU SHOW YOUR MAJESTY
In every star that shines,
And every time we breathe
Your glory, God revealed
From distant galaxeies
To here beneath our skin
You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
You are…
Magnificent,
You alone are holy,
No one else as glorious as You
Magnificent
Jesus You are worthy
Who can shine as brightly as You do?
Magnificent, You’re so magnificent
You’re lighting up our lives
Illuminate our hearts
WIth everything You are
You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
We are pouring out our hearts here in Your presence
