Lyrics
This is a realm of your glory
This is a realm of your grace
I can feel your mighty power
It is moving in this place
We're in the presence of angels
With God's glory on their wings
Like the voice of many waters
I can hear the angels sing
Holy, holy, holy, holy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy
Glory, glory, glory, glory
This is a realm of your glory
This is a realm of your grace
All my heart desire
Is to see your face

Meaning & Inspiration
In the Presence of Angels focuses on worship before the revealed glory and grace of God. The opening lines describe divine power moving in the gathered place, while the central scene surrounds that worship with angels. Their song of holiness, worthiness, and glory directs every repeated word toward God rather than toward the heavenly beings themselves.
The imagery closely echoes biblical visions of worship around the throne. The voice like many waters recalls Revelation, while the repeated cry of holy resembles the praise offered by heavenly creatures in both Isaiah and Revelation. Against that majestic setting, the singer expresses one quiet desire: to see the face of God. Grace and glory therefore remain joined throughout the lyric. God is presented as overwhelmingly holy and mighty, yet also near enough to awaken longing for his presence. The compact repetitions create a sustained act of adoration centered on divine worth.
