Seize the Moment – Day 970
Today’s hymn focus will be
Is He Worthy
Hymn 120
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 stop
The 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 be
The 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 grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb
Who 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 Messiah
Hold 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 grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb
Who died to ransom the slave
From ev’ry people and tribe, ev’ry nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To 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 is
He is worthy, He is worthy, He is
