We just added “Worthy” by Blanca to Project 88.7!
Have you ever wondered why we praise God? Blanca’s song “Worthy” is a great way to learn about that! If read Bible passages like Revelation 4-5, which describe what it’s like when the angels and believers in Heaven worship God, you’ll see them use this word, “worthy.” We praise God and give thanks to Him because He’s worthy. In other words, He’s deserving of our praise.
If you listen to the lyrics of “Worthy” you’ll notice that Blanca praises God for character traits He has such as faithfulness and trustworthiness. She also praises God for what He’s done in her life–rescuing her soul, and giving her life and breath. If you read through the book of Psalms in the Bible you’ll see the same concept–God’s people praising Him for who He is and the things He does in our lives. Take a cue from Blanca and from the songs of praise recorded in the Bible, and express your praise to God for His character and the ways He’s made that character known personally to you in your life. He deserves and His goodness is worth celebrating.
As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory. (Psalm 48:10 NLT)
Lyrics
No matter how far I go, You’ll never turn Your back, oh
You’re so faithful (oh so faithful, no, oh, You’re so faithful)
Can’t even count the times, no, You came and rescued my soul
God, You’re able (oh, You’re able, no)
Your love stop me right in my tracks
And now, I never ever want to go back (ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, feel my heart beating right in my chest
Now every part of me just has to confess, to confess
Oh God, You are worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, You are (eh-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh)
Every bone in my body knows that You are worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, You are, yeah
The author of every story, I know that You are for me
You’re so faithful (oh so faithful, yeah) yeah, yeah (oh, You’re so faithful)
When the sun rises every morning, I wanna give You glory
I’m so grateful (oh I’m so grateful, yeah, oh I’m so grateful)
I know you’re someone I can trust, yeah
You love me like nobody does, yeah (yeah)
I know I can’t say it enough, yeah (yeah, ah, ah, ah)
I feel a praise here rising up
Oh worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, You are
Every bone in my body knows that You are
Worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, You are (yeah), yeah
And it took some time to see it
It took some time to see it
Now with every breath I’m breathing
Oh, I’ll sing that You are worthy, worthy, worthy
Worthy, worthy, worthy, You are
