.

Majesty, worship his majesty;

Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise.

Majesty, kingdom authority,

Flow from his throne unto his own, his anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus.

Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.

Majesty, worship his majesty,

Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings.

Doctrine: Glorifying God

.

"Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever."

The Westminster Shorter Catechism

Definition: to glorify - laud, praise, honor

Practical ways to glorify God

1. Confess your sins - I John 1:9

2. Bear fruit - John 15:8

3. Give praise to God - Ps 50:23

4. Be content - Philippians 4:11

5. Pray according to His will - John 14:13

7. Lead others to Christ - II Corinthians 4:15

Scripture - Psalm 29:4; 93:1; Hebrews 1:3; 2:9; Revelation 4:11

Think about this - The God who created the heavens and the earth desires a personal relationship with you. Yes, YOU! With that thought "tucked away" allow your mind to think about the glory and majesty of Christ as the reigning King of Heaven. Worship Him as you sing and/or hum the song "Majesty."
