Aaron Shust - Majestic (Psalm 8) (CCM)


Aaron Shust - Majestic (Psalm 8)

Aaron Shust's song 'Majestic (Psalm 8)' is a beautiful expression of praise to God for His greatness and the wonder of His creation. The lyrics are based on Psalm 8, a powerful piece of scripture that acknowledges the majesty of God's name in all the earth. As Shust sings, 'O LORD our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth.'

Shust writes: 'I took a walk under the stars on the January night I wrote this song in 2022. I got a crick in my neck from staring at the night sky while I walked, singing these ancient words to the Maker of Heaven + Earth over and over. I knew it would become one of my favorites.'

The song reflects on the vastness of the universe and the stars, and marvels at how God, in all His splendor, remembers humanity. Shust asks, 'What is man that You remember us? The Son of Man that You would visit us?' These lyrics remind us that God is intimately involved in our lives, despite our smallness in comparison to the vastness of the universe.

As the song continues, Shust praises God as the Creator of the starry sky and the universe, crafted by His hands. He repeats the question, 'What is man that You remember us?' emphasizing how God has shown great love to humanity through His Son, Jesus Christ.

The bridge of the song includes a reference to Hebrews 2:6-9, which speaks of Jesus being made a little lower than the angels, and crowned with glory and honor. This verse emphasizes the special place that God has given humanity in His creation.

'Majestic (Psalm 8)' is a beautiful song that encourages us to reflect on the greatness of God and His love for us. It is a reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty of creation and the special place that we have in God's plan. Listening to this song can be a powerful way to connect with God and experience His presence.

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
