With All I Am, I will worship Your Majesty Forever

Now is early morning on 31st Dec, and in just over 24 hours I will be flying off to San Diego. As of now, my mind is clouded with the thoughts of what I'm expecting for myself, and the Christian songs that have impacted me during this period of spiritual low.

The first song is With All I Am. I find the verses of the song very reflective because as I sing it, it makes me think about whether I am REALLY doing what the verse says. "Into Your hand, I commit again, with all I am, for You, Lord." "I'll walk with You wherever You go. Through tears and joy, I'll trust in You." (Notice the word "again" in the first line.) We all go through ups and downs, joys and tears, laughter and pain. How much are we really willing to give or commit to God and place into His hands? The title itself already gives you the right answer, but being who we are, how much do we willingly give? Sometimes, when life is crushing down hard on you, will you say in all sincerity that "I'll walk with You wherever You go. Through tears and joy, I'll trust in You"? For me, I've been through a lot of hard times, even what I'm going through now.

Another thing that strikes me from this song is how God loves little us. "You hold my world in the palm of Your hand, and I am Yours, forever." I've never held the world in the palm of my hand, but I have held a chick in the palm of my hand before, and my goodness they are so cute and adorable!! It's so nice holding them and stroking the little furballs, and often I did wish the chick was mine... Replace the chick with you and me with God, and maybe you'll get a simplified rough idea of how much God loves and treasures us (although we are definitely not as adorable as chicks...).

The next song is Your Majesty. For this song, it's the chorus that strikes me most. "I lay my all before You now." "In royal robes I don't deserve, I live to serve Your Majesty." Similarly to the previous song, this song also has a line which talks about giving everything to God and laying out all we are for Him to use. The part that touches me most is the reminder that we are now saved and are God's children, a royal priesthood, but NONE of this was even deserved. It strikes me especially because for much of my life, the one thing that I experienced was rejection by people around me. For anyone who has experienced much rejection, knowing that someone loves you and accepts you for who you are is VERY, VERY comforting.

The last song is Forever. The lyrics struck me very strongly the first time I heard the song, and these lyrics are still very meaningful to me. It also reminds me of a promise that I made through this song, which is to love God forever. I admit this has kind of faded, but it still holds, and I hope that this love can be revived once again.

With All I Am:
Into Your hand
I commit again
With all I am
For You, Lord
You hold my world
In the palm of Your hand
And I am Yours, forever

CHORUS
Jesus, I believe in You
Jesus, I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing
With all I am

I'll walk with You
Wherever You go
Through tears and joy
I'll trust in You
And I will live
In all of Your ways
And Your promises, forever

Jesus, I believe in You
Jesus, I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing
With all I am

BRIDGE
I will worship
I will worship You
I will worship
I will worship You

Jesus, I believe in You
Jesus, I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing
With all I am


Your Majesty:
King of kings, majesty
God of heaven living in me
Gentle Saviour, closest Friend
Strong Deliverer, Beginning and End
All within me falls at Your throne

CHORUS
Your Majesty, I can't but bow
I lay my all before You now
In royal robes I don't deserve
I live to serve Your Majesty

Earth and heaven worship You
Love eternal, faithful and true
Who bought the nations, ransomed souls
Bought this sinner near to Your throne
All within me cries out in praise

Your Majesty, I can't but bow
I lay my all before You now
In royal robes I don't deserve
I live to serve Your Majesty


Forever:
I’ll worship at Your throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I’ll sing
For You my Dad and King

I’ll live for all my days
To put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It’ll be for eternity

BRIDGE
And oh, how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross

CHORUS
I’ll worship You my God
I’ll worship You my God
I love You, I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You, be with You
