Bow down and worship him
Bow down and worship him
Worship him oh worship him
Bow down and worship him
Bow down and worship him
Worship him oh worship him
Jesus the king of kings
Jesus the king of kings
Worship him oh worship him
"Before the emperor spoke You were God, we bow before Your throne God we just wanna give You praise tonight, we just wanna give You praise we cannot make it without You. And we cannot make it without your power. Jesus if it wasn't of your love and faithfulness at the cross where would we be. Today we are able to stand and testify that Your death was life unto us. Your pain was healing unto us that your tears oh Lord is a celebration and joy unto us. We thank You oh God that you are here in this place and we are able to experience Your presence. For You are a great God, Yes You are. You are the substance of all human virtues. You are all wise all knowing, all understanding. You can do anything and everything and anything we cannot do. You are everything and we would like to be your people. You are all powerful, You're omniscient. You ... "

This is holy ground
So come and bow down
Bow down and worship him
Bow down and worship him
Worship him oh worship him

Meaning & Inspiration
Benjamin Dube delivers a direct call to order in this track, which appeared on the 2014-06-20 07:00:00 release The Best Of. When we clear away the noise of our daily grind, the command to bow down hits the core of what it means to be a believer. It isn't just about bending a knee; it’s an acknowledgement of total sovereignty. Isaiah 45:23 declares that to God every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, and Dube captures that reality perfectly. He roots this worship in the supremacy of Christ as the King of kings, grounding our posture of humility in the fact that He reigned before any worldly power ever opened its mouth.
The spoken portion of this track hits hard because it strips away pretense. When Dube talks about the death of Jesus being our life and His pain becoming our healing, he is pointing directly to Isaiah 53:5. By recognizing that we cannot make it without His power, we are admitting our own spiritual bankruptcy, which is exactly where God wants us to be. It is a profound shift from self-sufficiency to total reliance on the One who is all-knowing and all-powerful. He calls Jesus the substance of all human virtues, a nod to the truth that we have no goodness apart from Him.
Describing the presence of God as a consuming fire and a sweet perfume brings us back to the holiness of the tabernacle. We see in Hebrews 12:29 that our God is indeed a consuming fire, a reality that demands we treat the space where we worship as holy ground. Just as Moses had to remove his sandals before the burning bush, we are called to shed our pride and ego. We aren't just singing a song; we are entering into the reality of His throne room. True worship isn't about how we feel, but about recognizing who is on the throne and adjusting our lives to fit that truth. You don't bargain with a King, you surrender, and every note here invites us to stop playing games and start living in the light of His absolute authority.
