Lyrics
Verse 1:
There's no greater love than this
For You to save us Burdened with all our sin
You came to take this from us.
Verse 2:
As the heavens mourned
And all the clouds went grey
All the earth's restored by Your saving grace
Verse 3:
Eternal love unfailing grace
The gift You freely gave
Son of God and son of man
At the cross You took Your stand
Pre Chorus:
As the barrier was broken
Between heaven and earth
All the heavens cried out
Chorus:
Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne, Seated on the throne
You are God in the highest
Bridge:
You are the One
Who is and will be to come
Glory in the Highest Highest
Highest, Highest, You are God in the Highest

Meaning & Inspiration
In the Highest presents the cross as the decisive expression of divine love and saving grace. The verses move from humanity’s burden of sin to the Son of God and Son of Man taking his stand at the cross. Images of mourning heavens, a restored earth, and a broken barrier give the song a broad view of redemption, while the chorus answers that work with worship: the Lamb is worthy and seated on the throne.
The title phrase directs all glory toward God rather than toward human effort. Its language draws together the sacrificial Lamb, Christ’s reign, and the confession that he is the One who is and is to come. Those images strongly echo Revelation’s worship scenes, where the Lamb receives honor before the throne. The song therefore joins remembrance of the cross with expectation, presenting Jesus’ sacrifice, present authority, and promised coming as reasons for sustained praise.
