Hillsong - Age to Age (His Glory Appears) - Lyrics
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on December 26, 2018, Hillsong Worship’s "Age To Age (His Glory Appears)" emerges as a profound declaration of both personal redemption and cosmic adoration. The song’s essence lies in its beautiful progression from an intimate encounter with God's grace to a sweeping vision of His eternal majesty, inviting all to join in heavenly worship. It is a worship anthem that carefully articulates fundamental Christian truths, emphasizing the foundational act of the cross and the timeless nature of divine glory.
The narrative of "Age To Age (His Glory Appears)" begins with a deeply personal testament to salvation, centered entirely on the cross. The opening lines immediately anchor the worshipper in the transformative work of Christ, proclaiming, "You gave me hope, You made me whole." This speaks to the profound spiritual healing and restoration found in Jesus, echoing scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17, which declares that "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." The song then underscores the substitutionary atonement, stating, "At the cross, You took my place, You showed me grace." This powerful confession aligns with Romans 5:8, "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us," and Isaiah 53:5-6, which prophetically details Christ bearing our transgressions. It is at the cross, the song reminds us, where God’s boundless grace is most vividly displayed, providing not just forgiveness but a complete making whole.
As the song transitions into its chorus, the focus broadens dramatically from individual experience to a universal, eternal proclamation of God's splendor. "And His glory appears, Like the light from the sun, Age to age He shines" paints a vivid picture of God's omnipresent and enduring radiance. Just as the sun unfailingly illuminates the earth, so too does God's glory perpetually manifest throughout all generations, reinforcing the truth of Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." The phrase "Age to age He shines" perfectly encapsulates God's immutability and eternal reign, resonating with Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." This eternal shinning implies a consistent, unchanging character of God, whose majesty transcends time and human understanding. The call to "Look to the skies, Hear the angels cry, Singing Holy is the Lord" elevates the worship experience, drawing believers into the celestial chorus described in passages like Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8, where heavenly beings ceaselessly declare God’s holiness. This connection to angelic worship reminds us that our praise on earth joins a grander, eternal symphony in heaven, affirming God’s absolute purity, power, and sovereignty.
In its entirety, "Age To Age (His Glory Appears)" functions as a robust theological statement wrapped in accessible worship language. It masterfully intertwines the intimacy of personal salvation with the grandeur of cosmic adoration, urging believers to remember the cost of their redemption while simultaneously looking upward to the eternal glory of God. The song does more than simply affirm faith; it inspires a posture of deep gratitude and exultant praise, reminding us that the same God who died for us at the cross is the same God whose glory shines from everlasting to everlasting, forever holy and forever worthy of all praise. Its message is a beacon of hope, grounding us in the finished work of Christ and lifting our gaze to the unchanging, glorious King of all ages.
