WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY

Jack Hayford and his wife Anna were vacationing in Britain during the 25th Anniversary of the coronation of Elizabeth II. While there, the Hayfords saw constant reminders of royalty. That, along with visits to several castles, caused Hayford to sense what it might be like to be “raised as a child in such regal settings.” With this in mind, he asked Anna to write down these words one day as they drove through the countryside: “Majesty worship his majesty. Unto Jesus be all glory, power, and praise.” Thus “Majesty,” one of today’s most glorious praise songs, was born.

In Scripture, Jesus is called “High Priest”, “Prince of Peace,” “Lamb of God,” “Bread of Life,” “Light of the World,” “Good Shepherd.” But perhaps the most magnificent, awe-inspiring title is “King of Kings.” It reminds us that His power far surpasses that of any mortal ruler. It suggests to us that splendor of the ultimate kingdom in which He will reign forever. What’s most amazing is that we who know Christ as Saviour are children of the King.

How should we respond? Hayford’s song suggest that we are to “exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus”each day, and in all we do “glorify Christ Jesus the King.” Our primary task in life is to worship His majesty.

Majesty
Majesty, worship His majesty
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise
Majesty, kingdom authority
Flow from His throne unto His own
His anthem raise.

So exalt lift up on high the name of Jesus
Magnify, come glorify
Christ Jesus the King… - the King –

Majesty, worship His majesty
Jesus who died now glorified
King of all Kings.
