Lauren Daigle - Tremble Lyrics
Lyrics
I will tremble at no other name
My heart surrender to no other reign
I will bow at no other throne
Rest my heart at no other home
Let these hands lift no other crown
Let these knees fall on no other ground
Draw these eyes from the gold that won’t shine
You turn this life from water to wine
Oh I tremble, I tremble
In Your presence
In Your presence
You take my breath with every starry night
Show Your power in downtown city lights
You are higher than the tallest of the hills
And stronger than the walls we try to build
You blind me with the beauty of Your face
And draw me close with Your divine embrace
You speak to me with healing in Your words
And fix the things I didn’t know were hurt
Oh I tremble, I tremble, Lord
In Your presence
In Your presence
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord
To You alone, to You alone be praise
My Lord, who could take the place of
My Lord, what compares to Your love
My Lord, for everything that You've done
To You alone, to You alone be praise
My Lord, oh who could take the place of
My Lord, what compares to Your love
My Lord, for everything that You've done
To You alone, to You alone be praise
You invented all of time and space
Called the morning and midnight into place
Made the mountains, tamed the wildest seas
And still You set Your holy eyes on me
I will always live in wonder of
The fact that I awake Your jealous love
Eternity will almost be enough
Eternity will almost be enough
I will always live in wonder of
The fact that I awaken jealous love
Eternity will almost be enough
Eternity will almost be enough

Meaning & Inspiration
Lauren Daigle's 2021 single, "Tremble," released on August 27th, 2021, stands as a powerful declaration of unwavering devotion and awe before the divine. This song isn't merely a musical offering; it's a profound theological statement, a deeply personal testimony to the overwhelming presence of God that elicits a reverent, trembling response. The core message revolves around the singular sovereignty and unmatched greatness of God, establishing Him as the ultimate object of worship, trust, and belonging. Daigle articulates a profound rejection of placing faith or hope in anything or anyone else, stating plainly, "I will tremble at no other name." This sentiment echoes the Apostle Peter's bold declaration in Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." The song emphasizes that human endeavors and earthly splendors, symbolized by "gold that won't shine," pale in comparison to the transformative power and divine beauty of God, a transformation likened to turning "water to wine," a clear allusion to Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11).
The repeated refrain, "Oh I tremble, I tremble, In Your presence," captures the essence of encountering the divine. This trembling isn't fear but a deep, humbling recognition of God's immense power and holiness, a sentiment found throughout Scripture. Consider Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6:1-5, where he cries out, "Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty," immediately followed by the seraphim proclaiming, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." The song further illustrates God's majesty by contrasting His power with human limitations, noting He is "higher than the tallest of the hills" and "stronger than the walls we try to build," bringing to mind passages like Psalm 18:2, which states, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." The healing and restorative aspect of God's word is also a central theme, as Daigle sings about God fixing "the things I didn’t know were hurt," aligning with promises like Jeremiah 30:17: "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord." The overwhelming nature of God's love and presence is so profound that Daigle declares, "Eternity will almost be enough" to comprehend it, a sentiment that resonates with the immeasurable nature of God’s grace described in Ephesians 3:19, asking that believers might "know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge." The song concludes with a resounding affirmation of God's inventive power over creation, from "all of time and space" to "the wildest seas," yet His gaze remains fixed on humanity, a testament to His intimate love and the "jealous love" He holds for His creation, as seen in the fervent desire of God for His people described in passages like Exodus 20:5. "Tremble" is a masterful musical prayer, inviting listeners into a space of profound worship and an unshakeable understanding of God's supreme worth.
