Lyrics

Verse 1


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


Chorus


Oh I tremble, I tremble
In Your presence
In Your presence


Verse 2


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


Chorus (Repeat)


Oh I tremble, I tremble, Lord
In Your presence
In Your presence


Bridge


My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord


Refrain


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


Refrain (Repeat)


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


Verse 3


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


Outro


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


Outro (Repeat)


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

“Tremble” by Lauren Daigle is a worship song about reverence before God. The opening verse is a list of exclusive loyalties: tremble at no other name, bow at no other throne, lift no other crown, and turn the eyes from “the gold that won’t shine.” The line “You turn this life from water to wine” recalls Jesus’ first sign at Cana in John 2. The chorus answers with “Oh I tremble… in Your presence.”

The second verse finds God’s majesty in creation and the city alike, from starry nights to “downtown city lights,” and describes a God who is “higher than the tallest of the hills.” A long bridge gathers the praise into a repeated “My Lord” and “To You alone be praise,” asking who could take the place of such love.

The final verse recalls that God invented time and space and still sets His eyes on the singer, with the wish that “eternity will almost be enough.” The language of jealous love is close to Exodus 34:14, and trembling in His presence echoes Psalm 96:9.
