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.
