A Hymn of Exaltation: Hillsong Worship's 'Glory'

Hillsong Worship's song 'Glory' is a powerful anthem of praise and worship, exalting the greatness and holiness of God. The lyrics open with a declaration of God's might and majesty, emphasizing His supreme authority. The imagery of 'the train of His robe fills the temple' is a vivid reference to Isaiah 6:1, where the prophet Isaiah has a vision of God's overwhelming presence in the temple. This sets the tone for the song, inviting listeners to join in the highest praise for the Almighty.

The chorus, 'Glory to the risen King, Glory to the Son, glorious Son,' shifts the focus to Jesus Christ, celebrating His resurrection and divine glory. This part of the song underscores the Christian belief in Jesus as the risen Savior, deserving of all honor and worship. The repetition of 'glory' serves to magnify the reverence and adoration directed towards Jesus, reinforcing His central role in the faith.

The song continues with a call to action: 'Lift up your heads, Open the doors, Let the King of Glory come in.' This is a direct invitation for believers to open their hearts and lives to God's presence, echoing Psalm 24:7-10. The final verse, 'Holy is the Lord, God Almighty! Holy is the Lord on high,' reiterates God's holiness and calls for all the earth to bow in worship. The song concludes with a vision of unity and submission to God's sovereignty, crowning Him 'Lord of All.'

'Glory' by Hillsong Worship is not just a song but a profound expression of faith, inviting believers to recognize and celebrate the greatness, holiness, and eternal reign of God.
