Hymnicity - Worthy (feat. Melanie Penn) Lyrics

In your likeness and bearing your name
You have made us to rule and to reign
To be fruitful on earth and to image your worth
Declaring it all "very good"
But we tarnished the worth of your name
And like Eve we were covered in shame
But despite what was done you have promised a Son
A king who would rescue and reign
Worthy! You are worthy
Of all glory and honor and power and blessing and fame!
For you made us. In Christ, you saved us
Make us worthy, Lord, to bear your name!
Through the ages, in famine and feast
You have called from the greatest and least
Countless women of faith who found hope in your grace
And spoke of the kingdom to come
From the weakness of young Mary's womb
Came a champion to conquer the tomb
One whose life and whose death would be our righteousness
And blessed is the one who believes!
Worthy! You are worthy
Of all glory and honor and power and blessing and fame!
For you made us. In Christ, you saved us
Make us worthy, Lord, to bear your name!
Though we have fallen, we have strayed
And clothed ourselves in shame
Though we have made ourselves unworthy of your name...
Though we are broken and abused
Mistrusted and misused
We find our hope, our joy
Our life, our worth in you
By the Spirit your work has begun
You are sending your daughters and sons
To bear children of faith by proclaiming your grace
'Til Christ and his kingdom have come
On the day when all things are made new
We, the bride, will be brought to the Groom
And then clothed in his worth, we will rule on the earth
And all of creation will sing
"Worthy! You are worthy
Of all glory and honor and power and blessing and fame!
For you made us. In Christ, you saved us
Made us worthy, Lord, to bear your name!"
