 What a Worthy God I Have

A Reflection on Revelation 4:11, Psalm 145:3, and Philippians 2:9-11

"Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things." (Revelation 4:11)

What a worthy God I have—not just in title or in name,

But in the depth of His love, in the power of His flame.

He is worthy of all praise, all honor, all glory,

The Author and Finisher of my story.

Worthy in creation—He spoke the stars to birth,

He formed the dust of Adam and breathed in him his worth.

The thunder is His voice, the lightning His swift flame.

The earth and heavens tremble at the speaking of His name.

Worthy in salvation—He parted the Red Sea,

He broke the chains of Pharaoh and set His people free.

He raised His Son from death's dark grave, He crushed the serpent's head.

The power that conquered sin and death now lives in me, it's said.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. (Psalm 145:3)

Worthy in mercy—though my sins are scarlet red,

He washes them as white as snow; He raises up my head.

His strength is made perfect when I am weak and small.

What a worthy God I have—my all in all.

Worthy in love—a love that never fails,

A love that lifts the fallen, a love that prevails.

No power can conquer it, no enemy can stand,

For my God is worthy, and He holds me in His hand.

Worthy in justice—He will make all things right,

He will bring the dawn after the darkest night.

He is the defender of the weak, the refuge of the poor,

My God is worthy, and He will endure.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. (Philippians 2:9-10)

What a worthy God I have—not just in what He gives,

But in who He is: the reason that I live.

He is worthy of my trust, my time, my treasure,

My heart, my soul, my every pleasure.

So I will worship Him—not with reluctant, hesitant praise,

But with the full force of my heart, with all my days.

I will lift my hands, I will raise my voice,

I will make a joyful noise, I will rejoice.

What a worthy God I have—let the whole earth declare,

My God is worthy, and I will always be aware.

He is the Almighty, the Everlasting King,

What a worthy God I have—to Him I sing.

Amen.
