the magnitude of You
Oh Lord
Your magnitude
splendor
radiance
and beauty
envelopes my heart with love
stirring up this symphony of words
settling me with the stillness of your perfect peace
oh how the warmth of your presence
always fills me with such ease
it is in these moments when i feel you Lord
i feel you Lord
and i just want to tell you how amazing you are
i just want to shout to the world how beautiful you are
i fall to my knees Lord
just so present to the weight and glory of who you are
Lord because of you
truly
i have come so far!!!
the way you persisted and pursued
until i finally came home to You
redeeming my heart
renewing my soul
oh Lord, i just marvel
and marvel
and marvel
at the magnitude of You
this life in Christ God
is just the greatest thing i have
ever experienced
ever known
ever touched
because in You i have life everlasting
evergrowing from glory to glory
radiance to radiance
splendor to splendor
it is the magnitude of your presence
that writes these words now as my body shakes
i mean how could i not
when we worship a God who puts “dawn in its place”
tears run down my cheeks Lord
i am so moved by your character
your goodness
your kindness
oh how your gentleness and faithfulness
slows me down
and fills me with Your Kingdom patience
whatever did i do to deserve this feeling
where everyday i am filled with such
excitement, joy and elation
the answer is all part of the magnitude of You
NOTHING i did deserves this
because part of the magnitude of You
is how Your love is so freely given
so full of grace and forgiveness
and what i am finding now
is the more and more i give my heart over to you
the more i let go of all that is not you
i realize no longer do i have to try so hard
because you are a God of transformation
and your Helper is always turning me
more and more
into You
so on this morning Jesus, i want You
to know when you suffered on the cross
it was for people like me
who would one day receive a whole new life
the honor of a lifetime
to now give my whole heart over to You
your sacrifice gave me the freedom
to erase my sins, crucify this flesh
and leave behind my old self
all the while shattering the enemies lies
and replacing it with your Word
that i now forever hold to be true
So God, thank you
thank for opening my eyes
thank you for overflowing me with this joy
thank you for moments like today
where i remember how much
you have brought me through
maybe this is why
i love to praise, worship
and write to you
so on this day and everyday
i never forget
the magnitude
of
You
The reference to “dawn in its place” is from Job 38:12 when the LORD spoke to Job out of a storm, “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,”
