Lyrics
You are beautiful beyond description,
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depths of Your love?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Majesty enthroned above.
And I stand, I stand in awe of You.
I stand, I stand in awe of You.
Holy God to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of You.

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Stand in Awe of You” is a direct expression of worship shaped by wonder at God’s beauty, wisdom, love, holiness, and majesty. The opening lines acknowledge that ordinary language cannot fully describe Him. Questions about grasping infinite wisdom or fathoming divine love deepen that sense of human limitation before a God who is beyond comparison.
The chorus answers contemplation with reverence. Standing in awe becomes a posture of humble praise, not merely an emotional reaction, and the declaration that all praise is due to the holy God keeps the song centered on His worth. Its imagery is consistent with biblical passages that describe the Lord’s greatness as unsearchable and His wisdom as beyond full human understanding. The reference to majesty enthroned above also places the song within Scripture’s vision of heavenly worship, where honor is offered to the Creator because of who He is.
