Only Worthy One
The Only Worthy One: A Majestic Anthem of Worship and Redemption
Lyrics
God over all, second to none
God is supreme, surpassing all, with no equal
Holder of heavens and our hearts
God holds both the heavens and our hearts
You are the One we worship
Expressing devotion to God as the sole object of worship
Creatures and choirs praise You alike
All of creation and heavenly choirs praise God
But somehow our song is Your delight
Despite various praises, our worship is pleasing to God
You are the one we worship
Reiteration of worship towards God
You are the one
Emphasis on God as the singular object of worship
Jesus, oh how holy the name of Christ our Savior
Acknowledging the holiness of Jesus Christ
The only worthy one
Jesus is identified as the only worthy one
The depths of our debt, paid on that tree
Reference to the crucifixion and the payment of humanity's debt on the cross
The King of all kings between two thieves
Jesus, the King of all kings, crucified between two thieves
You are the one we worship
Continued expression of worship towards Jesus
Swift as the Son started to rise
Describing the rapid rise of the Son (Jesus)
Our sin and shame dissolved in light
Symbolic dissolution of sin and shame in the light of Jesus
You are the one we worship
Reiteration of worship towards Jesus as the one who dispels darkness
You are the one
Emphasizing Jesus as the singular object of worship
Jesus, oh how holy the name of Christ our Savior
Reaffirming the holiness of Jesus Christ
The only worthy one
Restating Jesus as the only worthy one
Crowned in greatest glory forever, King of heaven
Jesus is crowned in eternal glory as the King of heaven
The only worthy one
Reiteration of Jesus being the only worthy one
Crown Him with many crowns
Call to crown Jesus with many crowns, recognizing His multifaceted glory
The Lamb upon the throne
Symbolic representation of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb on the throne
Heaven and earth resound
Heaven and earth unite in echoing the splendor of Jesus
To make His splendor known
Expressing the purpose of making Jesus' glory known
Crown Him with many crowns
Repeat of the call to crown Jesus with many crowns
The Lamb upon the throne
Reiteration of Jesus as the Lamb on the throne
Heaven and earth resound
Continuation of heaven and earth resounding in praise of Jesus
To make His splendor known
Restating the purpose of making Jesus' splendor known
Jesus, oh how holy the name of Christ our Savior
Reaffirming the holiness of Jesus Christ
The only worthy one
Reiterating Jesus as the only worthy one
Crowned in greatest glory forever, King of heaven
Jesus is forever crowned in the greatest glory as the King of heaven
The only worthy one
Final emphasis on Jesus as the only worthy one
King of Heaven, the only worthy one
Affirmation of Jesus as the only worthy King of Heaven
King of Heaven, the only worthy one
Repetition and emphasis on Jesus as the only worthy King of Heaven
