Seize the Moment – Day 970

Today’s hymn focus will be

Is He Worthy

 

Psalm 145:3 (NLT)                        

 

“Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.”

 

Written and recorded in the spring of 2018 by Andrew Peterson and Ben Shive and later recorded by Chris Tomlin on his album “Holy Roar”, this song came out of a season in their lives after attending a liturgical church. The word ‘liturgy’ literally means “the work of people”, implying a community service, not just listening to the pastor, but calling the people to edify one another by reaffirming what we believe.

 

Chris Tomlin said “When I heard this song it floored me, immediately tears just started coming over my face. I have not heard a song like that that makes me want to get on my face and worship Jesus.”

 

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy of this?  He is

 

We need to wake up and realize that we are all broken and there is only One who is whole and can make us whole again, and His name is Jesus!

Is He Worthy

 
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 stopThe 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 beThe 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 graveHe is David’s root and the LambWho 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 MessiahHold 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 graveHe is David’s root and the LambWho died to ransom the slave
From ev’ry people and tribe, ev’ry nation and tongueHe has made us a kingdom and priests to GodTo 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 isHe is worthy, He is worthy, He is
