Verse 1
I will sing, sing, sing to my God, my King
When all else fades away
And I will love, love, love with this heart you've made
For You've been good always
For You've been good always
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, our Lord! Oh, oh, oh, our Lord!!
How majestic is Your name in all the Earth

We behold the rising sun
The earth awakes, Your hope has come
We look to You, we long for You, oh Lord
Verse 3
We behold the breaking dawn
The light that shines over everyone
We look to You, we long for You, oh Lord
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, our Lord! Oh, oh, oh, our Lord!
How majestic is Your name in all the Earth
Verse 4
We behold the falling rain
Like waters rise, flood this place
We reach for You, we cling to You, oh Lord!
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, our Lord! Oh, oh, oh, our Lord!
How majestic is Your name in all the Earth

Oh Your name is a light in the darkness
Oh Your name is the word of truth
Oh Your name, oh Your name

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song opens with a vow to sing to God as King "when all else fades away" and to love Him with a heart He has made, since He has been good always. The chorus then lifts a wordless cry, "Oh, oh, oh, our Lord", before quoting "How majestic is Your name in all the Earth", the refrain of Psalm 8.
The verses follow creation through the day. The rising sun, the breaking dawn and the falling rain each prompt a response of longing and reaching for God, with hope described as arriving with the morning. The imagery treats the natural world as a reminder of the Creator rather than as the object of praise.
The bridge closes with a short confession that God's name is a light in the darkness and the word of truth, a thought that fits John 1 and Psalm 119:105.
