"Throne of Praise," the latest radio single by Phillips, Craig & Dean from the album, Above It All, is a powerful worship anthem full of exaltation for the Savior. Dan Dean, shares, "The idea behind 'Throne of Praise' is that with our actions, our words, and our worship, we create a place of honor for God to sit and dwell. We’ve all witnessed that in our churches on a Sunday. Nothing special about the building or the place we come together, even the day of the week, but it’s when God’s people come together. And in a spirit of community, we get to lift Him and exalt him. Although he already has a throne He dwells on, Revelation tells us, we create this place for Him to come and occupy and it’s one of reverence and respect and honor."
Guided by a driving beat and a sense of intensity, the song is passionate and congregational, inviting everyone to corporately lift God up and declare His holiness, "We build You a throne of praise. Let our worship raise You high. All our crowns laid at your feet as an offering, we cry, we cry holy!" Shawn Craig writes, "He is reminding us, that what makes the throne, is Who is seated on it. In your hour of suffering, in your hour of victory or worship, do what Jesus did. Build a throne of praise with words, phrases, and melody. Where is God? He is there and what makes the throne beautiful is the Ancient of Days, the Lord of Hosts, the Great I Am. If you build it, He will come."
"Throne of Praise" is also featured this week as our "Play of the Week" in Playback.
