IS HE WORTHY

During this time of fear, hold onto the promises and worthiness of our Lord and Savior!

IS HE WORTHY by Chris Thomlin

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)

Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)

But do you know that all the dark won’t stop the light from getting through? (We do)

Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Is all creation groaning? (It is)

Is a new creation coming? (It is)

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)

Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

Is He worthy? Is He worthy

Of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is He worthy of this?

He is

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)

Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)

And does Jesus, our Messiah, hold forever those He loves? (He does)

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe (People and tribe)

Every nation and tongue (Every nation and tongue)

He has made us a kingdom and priests to God

To reign with the Son

Is He worthy? Is He worthy

Of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Is He worthy of this?

He is, He is

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

He is, He is

He is worthy, He is worthy

He is

(comments from Keela) This song, sung by Chris Tomlin, was written by Andrew Peterson & Ben Shive.  (the words in parenthesis are echoed by the crowd) It is a song to reaffirm our faith and belief system within our hearts. Yes, our Lord and Savior is worthy to give us hope, even when we do not see any hope. God is our only true hope! Even though we are full of fear right now, thinking the shadows are deepening all around us, I feel this song sung by Chris Tomlin, reminds us that God is right by our side. He does care even though the murky mire is trying to swallow us up. Is God worthy even in the midst of this time of fear?  Deserving of our praise? Absolutely-HE IS!

(Song based on these verses in Revelation 4-5)

“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

“You are worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things. And by Your will they exist and were created.”

You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

“Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
