You are Worthy

You are worthy, you are worthy,
you are worthy, O Lord;
you are worthy to receive glory,
glory and honor and power:
for you have created, have all things created,
for you have created all things,
and by your pleasure they were created;
you are worthy, O Lord!

Notes

WORTHY is a simple chorus that is best sung unaccompanied and in harmony performance tempos on this song vary immensely, but bear in mind that it must not be rushed. Keep one pulse per measure. The song must convey a sense of dignity, awe, and majesty. It is common in the tradition of Scripture singing to repeat such a chorus. It is also common to add more stanzas. Here is one example:

You are worthy, you are worthy,
you are worthy, O Lord!
You are worthy to receive glory, glory and honor and power:
for you have redeemed us,
from all tribes and nations,
for you purchased us with your blood, to be your servants, ruling creation; you are worthy, 0 Lord!

-Revelation 4: 11a; 5: 9-10; vers. Bert Polman, 1987
