Worthy Is The Lamb

We can look to the Bible to find the source of this song’s inspiration. In Revelation 5:12, we read, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” This verse speaks of the worthiness of Jesus, the Lamb of God, who was slain for our sins. The song reflects this truth, declaring that Jesus is worthy of praise and honor. 

The song also speaks of Jesus’ holiness, declaring that He is “Holy, holy, holy.” This is a reference to Isaiah 6:3, which says, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” This verse speaks of the holiness of God and His glory that fills the earth. The song reflects this truth, declaring that Jesus is worthy of praise and honor because of His holiness. 

The song also speaks of Jesus’ kingship, declaring that He is “the King of kings.” This is a reference to 1 Timothy 6:15, which says, “He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.” This verse speaks of the kingship of Jesus and His lordship over all creation. The song reflects this truth, declaring that Jesus is worthy of praise and honor because of His kingship. 

The song Worthy Is The Lamb by Hillsong Worship is a powerful reminder of the worthiness of Jesus and His holiness, power, and kingship. As we sing this song, let us remember the words of Revelation 5:12, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Let us give praise and honor to the King of kings, for He is worthy!
