Lyrics
Hillsong United – Majesty Lyrics
Here I am, humbled by your majesty,
Covered by your grace so free.
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the lamb.
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.
Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands
Here I stand humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your desire,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice
Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands
Majesty
Majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your Majesty
Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.
Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

Meaning & Inspiration
The profound worship anthem, "Majesty Your Grace has found me Just as I am," by Matt Redman, released on July 14, 2012, stands as a testament to the transformative power of divine encounter. This song immediately plunges into a raw, honest confession of human frailty and the overwhelming comfort of God's unmerited favor. It opens with a posture of humility, acknowledging one's inherent sinfulness, yet immediately counters this reality with the assurance of being "covered by Your grace so free" and "the blood of the Lamb." This echoes the core Christian understanding articulated in Romans 3:23, that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory, but also in Ephesians 2:8-9, where salvation is declared to be by grace through faith, not by works. The "blood of the Lamb" powerfully references the atoning sacrifice of Christ, which, as Hebrews 9:22 teaches, is essential for the forgiveness of sins, offering a profound sense of redemption from the very first lines.
The narrative of the song then transitions to a declaration of finding "the greatest love of all," a love manifested through the "greatest sacrifice" of Jesus laying down His life. This mirrors John 3:16, the seminal verse illustrating God’s immense love for humanity, and Romans 5:8, which emphasizes that God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The central theme crystallizes in the chorus: "Majesty, Your grace has found me just as I am, empty handed but alive in Your hands." This beautiful sentiment captures the essence of God’s unconditional acceptance, a truth that runs counter to worldly expectations of earning worthiness. It resonates with Isaiah 64:6, which describes all human righteousness as filthy rags, yet simultaneously points to the divine invitation to come exactly as one is, without pretense or merit, to receive the abundant life promised in John 10:10. The image of being "empty handed" underscores a complete reliance on God's provision, recognizing that our spiritual well-being is entirely sustained by His grasp.
As the song progresses, it describes the profound internal shift brought about by this divine encounter. "Here I stand humbled by the love that You give, forgiven so that I can forgive." This line powerfully illustrates the cascading effect of God's grace, transforming recipients into agents of forgiveness, a call frequently found in Scripture, such as Colossians 3:13. The realization that "I am Your desire" shatters any lingering sense of unworthiness, reminding us of God’s intimate love and pursuit, an echo of 1 John 4:19 that we love because He first loved us. The subsequent declaration of being "sanctified by glory and fire" speaks to the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, purifying and setting apart believers for God's purposes, akin to the holiness commanded in 1 Peter 1:15-16 and the consuming fire of God's presence mentioned in Hebrews 12:29. The repeated chorus reinforces this journey of grace, emphasizing that the encounter with God's majesty results in a permanent transformation: "Forever I am changed by Your love, in the presence of Your Majesty." This echoes 2 Corinthians 5:17, affirming that in Christ, we become a new creation, old things passing away and new things coming. The song’s powerful repetition of "Majesty" throughout the bridge and outro serves as a continuous act of adoration, drawing the worshiper deeper into the profound reverence and awe inspired by God's glorious presence and unwavering love.
