Philippa Hanna has released the official video for Magnificent, the title track from her album with Israel Houghton.
The song carries the heart of the album clearly. It is centred on Jesus, His glory, His reign and the worship that belongs to Him alone.
Magnificent is a song of the Lamb. From the opening declaration of “Magnificent”, the heart of the song is already clear. It is worship that lifts Jesus high and gives honour back to the One seated on the throne.
The song then moves into “Glory to God”, making it even clearer that everything is pointing back to Him. It speaks of Jesus as Messiah, the One who reigns forever, the Lamb upon the throne and the God who has overcome.
Coming from an album that carries songs around freedom in Christ, salvation, identity and belonging to God, Magnificent feels like the centre of it all. It brings everything back to the greatness of Jesus.
What makes the song beautiful is the simplicity of the message. It is not trying to do too much. It is just worship, declaration and honour to God.
With the official video now out, Philippa Hanna gives listeners another way to sit with the song and its message.
