about

Inspired by Philippians 3:12-14, "Splendour" is a call to press on through the pain and darkness we all must endure throughout this life. "The Splendour" resembles God's glory as something to be pursued whole-heartedly while rejecting the fleeting and empty promises of the corrupt man-made systems that ruthlessly demand our conformity. We are beckoned to yield our awe and devotion to the King who will one day make all things right and give meaning to our present suffering.

lyrics

“Onward
Forward
Leave behind
Your anguish
Racing
Reaching
Gaze upon
The Splendour”

What sting is this that comes to afflict me

The skies fume red with fury
Armies of Heaven fall
He wages war to save me and brings my soul to glory
For in these sufferings
He walks in great abundance ever so near among us

Behold
The one
Who calls
In fury
(In fury)

“Onward
Forward
Leave behind
Your anguish
Racing
Reaching
Gaze upon
The Splendour”

But with heart entrenched in mire
Darkness beckons my heart to slumber
Still you lay waste to the void
What trial has yet to halt my God

Does He yet shake the mountains
Does He still roar the seas
The God of shepherds and lilies
Yet still has eyes for me

Where is the plain God’s hand cannot extend
Where is this depth that God cannot descend
Forever the victor of the age

Oh, what great a captor whom I belong
Who stole me in great love
In grace confining
Adonai, You are for me

Behold the king, mighty in wonder
His presence fills my downcast soul,
His arm is reaching, ever so longing.
Glory!
Behold the king, He comes now!
He searches the earth to know my name
He is the Lord
All majesty defined
Glory to the King
Glory to the King
Amen

“Onward
Forward
Leave behind
Your anguish
Racing
Reaching
Gaze upon
The Splendour”

Forevermore
