The Digital Age - Jesus, Majesty Lyrics
Lyrics
Stir our hearts again
In Your presence we find hope
We're desperate for You, God
Come and make Yourself known
Come and make Yourself known
All rise, for You are King
Jesus, Majesty
From death to life, You've set us free
Jesus, Majesty
You make all things new
Come and lift our weary souls
We're desperate for Your life
Breathe again on these bones
Breathe again on these bones
All rise, for You are King
Jesus, Majesty
From death to life, You've set us free
Jesus, Majesty
Jesus, Majesty
Death cannot hold us down any longer
We're alive for You now, and forever
Death cannot hold us down any longer
We're alive for You now, and forever
All rise, for You are King
Jesus, Majesty
From death to life, You've set us free
Jesus, Majesty
Oh, all rise, for You are King
Jesus, Majesty
From death to life, You've set us free
Jesus, Majesty
Jesus, Majesty, Oh
Death cannot hold us down any longer
We're alive for You now, and forever (x4)

The Digital Age - Rehearsals - "All Rise (Jesus, Majesty)"
Meaning & Inspiration
The Digital Age's "Jesus, Majesty," released on November 17, 2014, as part of their *Rehearsals Vol. 2* album, is a powerful declaration of faith, an anthem that resonates with a deep yearning for divine presence and a triumphant acknowledgment of Christ's reign. This track isn't merely a song; it's an invitation to profound worship, a sonic tapestry woven with threads of spiritual desperation and the unwavering assurance of salvation. The core message of "Jesus, Majesty" centers on a fervent plea for God to stir the hearts of believers, to make His presence tangibly known in a world that often feels distant from Him. The lyrics express a profound hunger, a recognition of spiritual need, articulating a common human experience: the search for hope and renewal in the face of life's weariness. This echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 130:5, "I wait for the Lord, my whole soul waits, and in his word I hope," highlighting the active and hopeful anticipation that underpins their plea.
The song's triumphant declaration, "All rise, for You are King," coupled with the repeated refrain, "Jesus, Majesty," speaks directly to the sovereignty of Christ. This is not a passive acknowledgment but an active coronation, recognizing His supreme authority and glorious dominion. The powerful truth proclaimed, "From death to life, You've set us free," forms the bedrock of the song's theological message, pointing to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. This freedom from the grip of death, a victory secured through His resurrection, is the ultimate testament to His majesty. It calls to mind passages like Romans 6:4, which states, "We were therefore buried with him by baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." The song further elaborates on this transformation with the line, "You make all things new," a direct nod to the new creation promised to those in Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
The recurring plea, "Breathe again on these bones," is a poignant metaphor for spiritual revival, a cry for the Holy Spirit to infuse life into dormant faith, mirroring the vision of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37. This imagery powerfully conveys the need for divine intervention to reanimate the spiritually lifeless. The steadfast assertion, "Death cannot hold us down any longer," is the ultimate victory cry, rooted in the resurrection of Jesus. This is the fundamental truth that underpins Christian hope, solidifying the song's message as an anthem of liberation and eternal life through faith in Christ. The repeated affirmation, "We're alive for You now, and forever," underscores the unending nature of this spiritual rebirth and the eternal covenant believers share with their Savior. "Jesus, Majesty" is an inspiring call to embrace the transformative power of Christ, to live in the freedom He has granted, and to continually seek His reign in our lives.
