Show Me Your Glory

“Show Me Your Glory” by Jesus Culture is a heartfelt plea for a deeper, more intimate experience with the divine. The song opens with a vivid image of a cloud, reminiscent of the biblical story of Moses encountering God on Mount Sinai. The lyrics, “I want to see your glory like Moses did,” directly reference this moment of divine revelation, where Moses witnessed God's glory through flashes of light and rolls of thunder. This sets the tone for the song, expressing a deep yearning for a similar, awe-inspiring encounter with God.

The repetition of the phrase “Show me your glory” serves as both a prayer and a declaration of faith. The singer expresses a fearless desire to be in the presence of God, emphasizing their readiness to experience His majesty. This is further highlighted by the lines, “I’m not afraid,” which convey a sense of trust and confidence in the divine presence. The song’s chorus reinforces this longing, creating a powerful and emotional appeal for a tangible experience of God’s glory.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more personal and intimate tone. The singer is “awed by your beauty, lost in your eyes,” and expresses a desire to walk in God’s presence, much like Jesus did. This longing to be close to God is encapsulated in the lines, “I long to look on the face of the one that I love, long to stay in your presence, it’s where I belong.” The song beautifully captures the essence of worship and the deep, personal connection that believers seek with their Creator, making it a moving and spiritually uplifting piece.
