I remember when I met You
The first time that I felt You
When it all was just so simple
I'd just stand in awe of You

Let my heart stay soft and tender
When You walk into the room
My response is to stand in awe of You

I stand in awe of You

Just to adore You is our purpose
To make Your name higher is our focus
Where we've made it complicated
Realign us to stand in awe of You

I stand in awe of You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Stand in Awe” is a prayer for worship to remain tender, simple, and centered on God. The opening memory of first encountering God contrasts with the danger of becoming overly familiar. Rather than seeking novelty, the lyric asks for a softened heart and an immediate response of adoration whenever God’s presence is recognized. Repeating the title line gives that response room to linger, making reverence itself the song’s central action.
The bridge draws directly from the language of the Lord’s Prayer: the kingdom, power, and glory belong to God. Matthew 6:13 therefore provides the clearest scriptural connection, while Psalm 95:6 supports the posture of bowing in worship before the Creator. The request to realign worship around God’s name also fits the song’s emphasis on purpose. Across its verses and repeated choruses, awe is presented not as distance or fear, but as focused devotion before divine majesty.
