Darlene Zschech - Worthy Is the Lamb Lyrics

Worthy Is the Lamb centers on gratitude for the cross and adoration of Christ. Its opening lines connect the price Jesus paid with cleansing, forgiveness, grace, and embrace. The movement from personal thanksgiving to heavenly praise gives the song both a devotional and congregational character. Images of nail-pierced hands and sin being borne in love reflect the New Testament proclamation that redemption comes through the sacrificial death of Christ.

The chorus turns toward the throne-room vision of Revelation, where the slain Lamb is declared worthy and receives honor. Crowns, victory, and the title Son of God present Jesus as both crucified Savior and reigning King. The song therefore holds suffering and triumph together: the Lamb who was slain is also exalted. Its concise language makes worship the response to forgiveness, while the repeated declaration of worthiness keeps attention on Christ rather than on the worshipper. The result is a confession of gratitude shaped by the cross and completed in praise of the victorious Lamb.
