By Mediatunes Music Posted on November 24, 2023 Posted in Music, Praise and Honor

The song “Praise and Honor” by John Pape is a worship song. The song expresses the desire to be in God’s presence. The first verse speaks of the one thing that can satisfy. Being in the presence of the Lord is the ultimate desire of the heart. The river that flows from God’s holy throne symbolizes the blessings and grace. Both which comes from His presence. This inspires the us to praise and worship Him.

The chorus “Praise and Honor, Glory and Power” repeats. This highlights the majesty of God. The statement “God Almighty reigns” affirms God’s sovereignty. Acknowledging everything in this world is under the control of God.

The second verse is a repetition of the first. It also highlights the singer’s desire to be where the river flows from God’s holy throne. This reflects our desire for God’s presence. It is not a one-time thing. It is a continuous longing that will never be satisfied until being in His presence.

A glimpse of the everlasting benefits that come from being in God’s presence can be seen on the bridge. “No more pain, no more tears, no more sorrow, forever set free” gives an image of a place without of suffering. Everything is beautiful and perfect there.

“You are Majesty” repeats three times in the outro. This highlights the magnificence and majesty of God. In general, the song expresses the strong desire to be in God’s presence. To be in an attitude of worship Him with the reverence and admiration that He deserves.

Praise and Honor – Song Story

By John Pape Posted on May 13, 2022 Posted in Music, Praise and Honor, Song

The main reason I write worship songs like Praise and Honor is to be a blessing and resource for the Christian church. As I ponder about the song Praise and Honor here are some answers to questions that hopefully share the song’s story.

Christian hope and yearn for. It is the work of God that satisfies that hope. In the meantime we need to express our praise, worship and adoration toward God. The song is also about the attributes of God. He is Almighty and He is Majestic for that we are to Praise and Honor him. Of course one of the benefits of heaven is the absence of pain, hurt and sorrow. This is removed and we will be comforted.

Why I wrote Praise and Honor?

Praise and Honor was written because there is a deep down yearning to be with God. The Psalmist David so eloquently expressed this “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life” But what is that look like? When reading Revelation there is a vivid picture of what heaven must be like. Add to that what Jesus did to allow believer to enter heaven only deserve homage to his almighty majesty.
