This song left me lost in the majesty of God in a different way then most worship songs. While most contemporary worship songs leave me feeling like a participant, this song left me just frozen in awe at the power and majesty of God.
Interesting note too, the words are sung in Latin, taken from an old Roman Catholic Liturgy.
Translated, they say:
“Truly, O Lord, you are the Holy One, the source of all holiness.”
This song reminds of pictures given to us in the Bible, especially in Revelation where all of the heaven and Earth are worshiping God, bowing to his majesty in a symphony of pure, unadulterated worship.
Revelation 4:9-11 (ESV)
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
Close your eyes, and hit play.
