Song Study 12: Meekness and Majesty

Song Study (12) MEEKNESS AND MAJESTY

This is a modern hymn by Graham Kendrick (UK), written in 1986. Like the earlier hymns we have examined, it is based on Scripture and contains some difficult words. The message of the song is “When God became man in the form of Jesus he came as a servant. This is what he expects of us too.”

Rather than a series of questions, let’s look at a series of “key Scriptures” to help us understand what this means and how we are to respond to God’s grace.

 Meekness and Majesty: Meekness And Majesty - Graham Kendrick Lyric Video - YouTube

                               Meekness and majesty,

Manhood and Deity,

In perfect harmony,

The Man who is God.

Lord of eternity

Dwells in humanity,

Kneels in humility

And washes our feet.

    O what a mystery,

Meekness and majesty.

Bow down and worship

For this is your God,

This is your God.

Father’s pure radiance,

Perfect in innocence,

Yet learns obedience

To death on a cross.

Suffering to give us life,

Conquering through sacrifice,

And as they crucify

Prays: ‘Father forgive.’

Wisdom unsearchable,

God the invisible,

Love indestructible

In frailty appears.

Lord of infinity,

Stooping so tenderly,

Lifts our humanity

To the heights of His throne.
