Martin Smith - Majesty Lyrics

"Majesty" is a worship song built around a posture of humility before God's greatness. The verses admit personal sinfulness plainly, "knowing I'm a sinful man," while describing that condition as already covered by Christ's sacrifice rather than something requiring further effort to fix. The chorus expands that admission into gratitude, describing grace as something that found the singer "empty-handed" and changed him permanently through God's love. A key phrase, "since You laid down Your life, the greatest sacrifice," ties the whole song directly to the crucifixion rather than treating worship as a vague emotional response. The closing verse returns to forgiveness, noting that being forgiven creates the capacity to forgive others, before ending on the image of being "sanctified by glory and fire," language that echoes biblical descriptions of refining and purification. Structurally the song's short verses and repeated chorus keep the focus on God's majesty rather than the singer's experience, a shape common to worship songs meant for congregational reflection rather than performance.
