Lyrics
Verse 1
We will stand and rejoice as one people, lifting one voice
You're worthy of glory, worthy of honor, and worthy of praise
We will shout and proclaim the greatness of Your holy name
You're worthy of glory, worthy of honor, and worthy of praise
Chorus
You are holy, You are holy
The whole earth sings Your praise
The whole earth sings Your praise
Verse 2
Of Your goodness, we will sing, hallelujah to the King
You're worthy of glory, worthy of honor, and worthy of praise
I'm now redeemed from my past, Your people dance cause we're free at last
You're worthy of glory, worthy of honor, and worthy of praise
Bridge 1
We pour out our best for You, we pour out our best for You
We pour out our best for You
Bridge 2
We pour out our best for You, we pour out our best for You
We pour out our best for You
We pour out our best for You, we pour out our best for You
We pour out our best for You

Meaning & Inspiration
The Whole Earth Sings gathers praise around the holiness, goodness, and worthiness of God. The verses move from a united people lifting one voice to redeemed people celebrating freedom, while the chorus widens the scene until the whole earth joins the praise. Glory, honor, and praise recur as the fitting response to the name and character of God. The repeated language gives the song a communal focus rather than treating worship as a private expression.
Its central declaration closely echoes Psalm 66:4, which pictures all the earth worshiping and singing praise to God. The call to proclaim divine greatness also aligns with Psalm 96:3, where glory is declared among the nations. Redemption supplies the reason for the celebration: the past no longer defines the people of God, and freedom leads to joyful worship. The bridges then turn that gratitude into an offering, presenting praise as the giving of the best to God.
