Awaited King
Awaited King: Revelations of Divine Power & Majesty
Lyrics
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
Creation of the heavens through the divine command of the Lord
And the hosts by a breath from his mouth
Formation of heavenly hosts through the breath of God's mouth
By the word of the Lord man took his frame
Human creation initiated by the word of the Lord
Let all the earth stand in awe
Call for all the earth to stand in awe of the divine power
By the word of the Lord the sea was tamed
The sea's submission to the word of the Lord
Sick healed by the touch of His hand
Healing of the sick through the touch of God's hand
By the word of Lord atonement had a way
The word of the Lord paving the way for atonement
Let all the earth stand in awe
Renewed call for all the earth to stand in awe
Let all the earth stand in awe
Repeated emphasis on the call for reverence
Oh You are the holy one
Acknowledgment of God as the Holy One
The Lord our salvation
Recognition of the Lord as the source of salvation
The dawn has come
The arrival of a new era symbolized by the dawn
Awaited king
Anticipation and reference to the Awaited King
Surrounded in glory
Envisioning the Awaited King surrounded in glory
By the word of the Lord the clouds lay low
Lowly position of clouds through the word of the Lord
And the glory of heaven descends
Descent of heavenly glory to the earth
The word of the Lord sits upon His throne
The word of the Lord reigning on His throne
Let all the earth stand in awe
Renewed call for all the earth to stand in awe
Let all the earth stand in awe
Reiteration of the call for reverence
Let all the earth bow in awe
Further urging all the earth to bow in awe
Oh You are the holy one
Affirmation of God as the Holy One
The Lord our salvation
Reiteration of the Lord as the source of salvation
The dawn has come
Confirmation of the arrival of the dawn
Awaited king

Surrounded in glory

Oh You are the rising sun
