Kari Jobe explains story behind song 'When You Walk In the Room'

There is no feeling in this world greater than God's presence, and this is what singer Kari Jobe attests to in her song "When You Walk In the Room" off her album Majestic.

On her Facebook page, Jobe shared her thoughts on the song, saying that God's holy entrance gives her an "overwhelming sense of peace, of sweetness, and of goodness."

"When Jesus walks into the room we experience majesty. Yes, He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. But He is also our King," she explained.

Jobe said that God is everywhere all the time, and this is one of the first things she learned about Him in church. But despite his omnipresence, Jobe still feels awe every time the Lord makes His presence known.

"Occasionally—in a time of worship, or prayer, or simple stillness—the Lord's presence fills a room in an unmistakable way. It can happen when you're completely alone, or in a gathering of thousands," she said.

And when that special moment happens, Jobe gets a mixture of emotions. All at once, she's anxious yet comforted; overwhelmed by His reverence but giddy with joy; and she is also weighed down but feeling light. 

"When He walks into the room, we sense we're on holy ground and yet somehow feel we've never been more home. There's nothing like it," she described.

Jobe then shared the Bible verses Psalm 24:9 - 10 which said, "Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory."

Earlier, the singer shared her thoughts on her song "Always Enough," also from the Majestic album. She said that God has the power to expose the lies of this world, and He alone fills people's lives with joy and contentment.

"To really know Him is to come to understand that in Him lies everything we could possibly ever want or need," she simply said.
