Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worthy, You are worthy
Much more worthy than I know
I cannot imagine
Just how glorious You are
And I cannot begin to tell
How deep a love You bring
O Lord my ears have heard of You
But now my eyes have seen

You're worthy
You're worthy
You're worthy
You're worthy to be praised
Forever and a day

Glory, I give glory
To the One who saved my soul
You found me and You freed me
From the shame that was my own
And I cannot begin to tell
How merciful You've been
O Lord, my ears had heard of You
But now my eyes have seen





We'll sing an anthem of the highest praise
We'll sound an anthem of Your glorious name

Revelation 4:10-11 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”

Actually both Matt and Chris take turns at leading, showing a real unity in the Holy Spirit and their relationship is close. Spot the two ladies from Jesus Culture as well. Great video of a very anointed song. Thanks. Ken
