Shekinah Glory

Bethel Music's 'Shekinah Glory' is a powerful worship song that captures the deep yearning for a divine encounter. The term 'Shekinah' refers to the visible manifestation of God's presence, often described as a radiant light or glory. The lyrics express a collective anticipation and longing for this divine presence to fill the room, creating an atmosphere of reverence and spiritual hunger. The repetition of 'We wait for you' emphasizes the earnest expectation and readiness of the worshippers to experience God's glory firsthand.

The song's chorus, 'Shekinah glory come down,' is a heartfelt plea for a tangible experience of God's spirit. This line is repeated multiple times, reinforcing the desire for a profound spiritual encounter. The lyrics 'Release the fullness of your spirit' and 'We want more' highlight the insatiable thirst for a deeper connection with the divine. The song conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the worshippers cannot be satisfied with anything less than the full presence of God.

The bridge of the song shifts to a declaration of freedom and joy that comes from experiencing God's presence. 'The lord has given us freedom, given us joy!' signifies the transformative power of divine encounters. The repetition of 'I can't get enough of your presence' underscores the addictive nature of experiencing God's glory, suggesting that once someone has tasted this divine presence, they are forever changed and continuously seek more. Bethel Music, known for their contemporary worship style, effectively uses this song to create an immersive worship experience that invites listeners to seek and embrace the fullness of God's spirit.
