But in this case it is presented before a description of God’s sanctuary. The words always get me thinking about what it is that creates beauty and splendor, strength and majesty in God’s sanctuary. An answer came to me in the form of this melody. If you listen, you can hear the voices building up together throughout the song. At first soft and tentative, it is the coming together that makes them strong.
