Darlene Zschech - Agnus Dei Lyrics

This short worship song is built on the Hallelujah acclamation and on the title of Christ as the Lamb. The opening lines declare "You are holy" and then repeat that "the Lord God Almighty reigns", so praise is tied to God's rule rather than to personal feeling.

The middle section turns to the Lamb. It repeats "Worthy is the lamb" and sets it beside the cry "Holy, holy", ending with an "Amen". The closing lines return to "Holy and lifted high", which keeps the focus on exalting God by repetition.

The wording is close to scenes in Revelation, where a great multitude announces that the Lord God Almighty reigns and the Lamb who was slain is called worthy. The lyrics do not cite those passages, so the link is a likely echo rather than a stated source. Because the words are few and repeated, the song suits congregational singing, where the same phrases can be sung slowly or with rising volume.
