Lyrics
Verse 1 (Repeat)
You're worthy of it all
You're worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory
Bridge (Repeat x3)
Day and night, night and day
Let incense arise
Verse 1 (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Worthy of It All" repeats a single, direct declaration of worthiness, grounding that claim in a theological statement that all things come from God and exist for him. That brief, repeated phrase functions less as argument than as settled conclusion, treating God's worthiness as self-evident rather than something requiring extended justification.
The bridge shifts the song's imagery toward continual worship, picturing incense rising day and night as a symbol of prayer offered without interruption. That image, drawn from ancient temple worship, extends the song's declaration of worth into an ongoing act rather than a single moment of praise.
Built for sustained congregational repetition typical of contemporary worship, the song functions as unadorned adoration, relying on a short list of theological claims, origin, purpose, and glory, repeated until they form a complete statement about God's worthiness. Its brevity keeps the focus narrow, returning throughout to the same settled declaration.
