Lyrics
Verse
Most holy one who seated at the right hand of the father.
The risen king he sacrificed his life for all and mankind.
You alone deserve my worship,
You alone deserve my praise, you alone deserve the honour.
So we lift you high Yahweh Yahweh!

Meaning & Inspiration
"Yahweh" is a short worship song that moves quickly from identifying Christ's position to responding with worship. The opening lines name Jesus as the Most Holy One seated at the Father's right hand, a position of honor following His resurrection, before naming the specific act behind that honor, a sacrificed life given for all of mankind. The song then shifts from description to direct response, declaring three times in close succession that God alone deserves worship, praise, and honor, refusing to divide that devotion elsewhere. The closing line lifts up the divine name Yahweh directly, letting the ancient covenant name stand as the final word of the song's declaration. Because the lyric is brief and moves in one direction, from Christ's exalted position to an exclusive claim on worship, it functions as a compact statement of devotion suited to a live worship moment rather than an extended composition.
