How Majestic is Your Name
A quiet reflection on Psalm 8 and the wonder of looking at the vastness of creation and realising that the God who made it all still knows and cares for us. *How Majestic Is Your Name* explores our smallness, the responsibility God has entrusted to humanity, and ultimately points to Jesus — the One crowned with glory and honour.
How Majestic Is Your Name began with the simple picture at the heart of Psalm 8 (opens in a new tab): looking up at the night sky and wondering why the God who made the moon, the stars and everything beyond them would take notice of us at all.
Psalm 8 (opens in a new tab) doesn't answer that question by making humanity seem bigger. Instead, it makes God seem bigger. Despite our smallness, He remembers us, cares for us and has given us dignity and responsibility within the creation He made. The song reflects that responsibility too — the world isn't simply ours to claim or use however we choose, but something precious entrusted to our care.
The bridge follows Psalm 8 (opens in a new tab) into Hebrews 2. We don't always see humanity living as God intended, but Hebrews gives a wonderfully simple response: “we see Jesus.” Jesus humbled Himself, suffered death for us, and is now crowned with glory and honour. That gives the song's question a deeper answer and turns our attention back towards Him.
Ultimately, the song ends where Psalm 8 (opens in a new tab) begins and ends: not with us, but with God.
“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name.”

Lyrics
I look up
And there are more stars than I could ever count
The moon hanging quietly above me
All of it the work of Your hands
And I can't quite understand
Why the God who made all this
Would remember me
Yet You do
#CHORUS
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
Across this earth
And higher than these heavens
Your glory remains
And here I am
Small beneath a sky You made
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
#VERSE
You could have left us only watching
Wondering from a distance
But You gave these hands something to tend
This earth beneath our feet
The life that moves upon it
Not ours to claim
Not ours to waste
Just something precious
Placed for a while into our care
#CHORUS
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
Across this earth
And higher than these heavens
Your glory remains
And here I am
Small beneath a sky You made
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
#BRIDGE
What are we
That You remember us?
You gave us honour
Gave us something here to carry
And we haven't carried it well
But we see Jesus
Humbled for a little while
Now crowned with glory
The One who tasted death for us
And leads us home to You
#CHORUS
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
Across this earth
And higher than these heavens
Your glory remains
And here we are
Small beneath a sky You made
Yet known by You
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
#OUTRO
The moon
The stars
The work of Your hands
And somehow
You remember us
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
