Elevate your spirit with this majestic instrumental of “Worthy of Worship.” This arrangement is a pure offering of adoration, designed to help you focus on the “Father, Creator, Savior, and Sustainer” who is worthy of all honor and glory.
The Scriptural Foundation
This hymn is a beautiful echo of Psalm 145:3:
“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.”
The lyrics move from external praise (“glad songs we can sing”) to internal devotion (“reverence and fear”), acknowledging that God is not just our Creator, but our “Wonderful Counselor, Comforter, and Friend.” It is a reminder that while His greatness is beyond our full understanding, His love is as close as our next breath.
The Story Behind the Hymn
Written in 1988 by Terry W. York, this modern classic has quickly become a staple in traditional and contemporary worship alike. York wrote the lyrics while serving as an editor at the Baptist Sunday School Board, wanting to create a text that captured the many names and attributes of God in one sweeping declaration of worth.
Combined with the soaring melody by Mark Blankenship, the hymn creates a “wonderful” atmosphere that reminds us that our praise is just a small response to His infinite majesty.
Hymn Lyrics (Part I)
1
Worthy of worship, worthy of praise,
Worthy of honor and glory;
Worthy of all the glad songs we can sing,
Worthy of all of the offerings we bring.
Chorus
You are worthy, Father, Creator,
You are worthy, Savior, Sustainer;
You are worthy, worthy and wonderful,
Worthy of worship and praise.
2
Worthy of reverence, worthy of fear,
Worthy of love and devotion;
Worthy of bowing and bending of knees,
Worthy of all of this and added to these.
Hymn Lyrics (Part II)
3
Almighty Father, Master and Lord,
King of all kings and Redeemer;
Wonderful Counselor, Comforter, Friend,
Savior and Source of our life without end.
Chorus
You are worthy, Father, Creator,
You are worthy, Savior, Sustainer;
You are worthy, worthy and wonderful,
Worthy of worship and praise.
