"I might
not be a religious man myself but I know good music when I hear it, and this is very
good! . . . I don’t think that I have ever given such high
ratings to so many songs before. But
the fact is that they are well deserved because the
music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they
really get to your heart. . .everytime."
Fredrik Cole: Trax In Space
Come and magnify our God, worship Him alone,
For weve beheld His wondrous grace
To know His glory, and He is glorious.
Bow before the Lord of hosts, He is the Strong and Mighty One,
And one day we shall see His face
To know His glory, for He is glorious.
Worship Him, fall down on our knees and exalt Him, He is Lord,
He is worthy! We join the voice of angels before His throne,
Before His royal throne.
Come and lift His name up high with our loyal hands,
For weve beheld His wondrous grace
To know His glory, and He is glorious.
Bring our praise unto the Lord, give Him the honor that is due,
To know His glory, for He is glorious.
Worship Him, fall down on our knees and exalt Him, He is Lord,
He is worthy! We join the voice of angels before His throne,
Before His royal throne.
Lift our voices to our God who dwells inside our hearts,
For weve beheld His wondrous grace
To know His glory, and He is glorious.
Living praise proclaims His name so we shall worship with our lives,
And one day we shall see His face
To know His glory, for He is glorious.
Worship Him, fall down on our knees and exalt Him, He is Lord,
He has redeemed us! We join the voice of angels before His throne,
Worship Him, fall down on our knees and exalt Him, He is Lord,
He is worthy! We join the voice of angels before His throne,
Before His royal throne.
Worship Him, fall down on our knees and exalt Him, He is Lord,
He is worthy! We join the voice of angels before His throne,
Before His royal throne.
Before His royal throne.

Song Story
"I have reviewed several songs by this artist and I dont think that I
have ever given such high ratings to so many songs before. But the fact is that they are
well deserved because the music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they
really get to your heart. . .everytime."
Fredrik Cole: Reviewer for Trax In Space
Vanessas vocals soar in praise and adulation of God as she sings this dramatic praise
song. We are not alone in our praise of God. The book of Revelation tells us that we are
joined by the exaltation of beings throughout heaven who are constantly before the throne
of God. This exhilarating song encourages worshippers to praise God with enthusiasm while
joining this heavenly chorus.
This song came to me while I was the music minister at Calvary Chapel Bakersfield in the
early 80s. In oursong service we had always emphasized praising God. However, everything
that I knew about worship mainly came from osmosis. I began to realize that I was a novice
leading other novices. Overcome with conviction at the realization regarding my
responsibility over a large congregation, I began to pursue the study of worship. This
pursuit of understanding resulted in years of persistent research that carried on through
the 90s. The results of this study has been published on the Internet on the Wigtune
Company Home Page @ http://www.praisesong.net/wigtune.htm.
The praise song, Before His Royal Throne, was another fruit of this intense study. As I
searched out the Scriptures, I was impressed with the fact that eternity is filled with
the praises of God. Isaiahs vision (Is 6) pictures the angels crying out Holy, Holy, Holy
without end before the throne of God. Revelation affirms this and adds many other
instances of heavenly worship.
As I immersed myself in these scriptures, I realized that, as we sing to God, we are
joining a heavenly chorus of praise that rings throughout eternity. What an exhilarating
thought that is! It certainly provides us with a great reason to exalt our Holy and
Righteous God!
It was with excitement that I wrote the song that I believed had come out of a great
spiritual revelation. The words were a little more complex than the congregation was use
to singing, so I was not sure how it would be accepted. However, by the second time we
sang the chorus the church erupted in ecstatic praise. Before His Royal Throne instantly
became a part of the Calvary Chapel repertoire.
The musical I was composing at the time concerned itself with the Book of Revelation. This
song naturally fit into that theme and became one of the concluding pieces. Yet there
never was an opportunity to teach the musical to the Calvary Chapel Praise Singers, who I
directed. Nonetheless Before His Royal Throne became a part of the groups praise
repertoire. Later, our group Selah, performed most of the Revelation musical and the song
played a predominant role in our presentation.
We recorded the song in the early 90s as part of a project to put the Revelation Set (as
we called it) on tape. However, a computer problem left the vocal tracs lost forever. I
was heartbroken! This song, in my opinion, was the most powerful praise song that I had
ever written. I desperately wanted to get it on tape, but continued equipment problems
constantly stood in the way. This frustration lead to the abandonment of recording for
quite awhile.
I later found out that God had His reasons for creating the loss. In my continued studies
on worship I discovered that some of the words that I had penned were not exactly
cripturally correct. So I took the song back to the drawing board and carefully edited it.
Finally, in 1999 we went back to the studio to have Vanessa sing it. The results were so
astounding that the pain of losing the earlier vocals was replaced with joy. As you listen
to this long-awaited mix, we pray that you will be blessed while praising God with the
realization that all heaven joins in the chorus.
Wigtune Company was formed as a service to the body of Christ. Our vision is to encourage scriptural worship in the Church by offering free praise music and hymns performed in a contemporary manner along with a free on-line worship study book for personal devotions, Bible study groups, Sunday schools, pastors, music ministers and ministry training. The worship study book lends theological and historical support to the use of traditional Christian hymn-singing in conjunction with praise chorus singing.
