David Brymer - Worthy of It All Lyrics
Lyrics
All the saints and angels bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns before the Lamb of God and sing
You are worthy of it all,
You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things,
And to You are all things,
You deserve the glory
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise

Worthy of It All (Live) - David Brymer
Meaning & Inspiration
David Brymer’s "Worthy of It All," released on June 30, 2015, as part of the "Best of Onething" album, stands as a profound declaration of divine sovereignty and an invitation into ceaseless worship. From its initial notes, the song transcends mere musical composition, serving as a scriptural tapestry woven with threads of heavenly adoration and an unwavering focus on the matchless worth of God. It doesn't aim to entertain but to elevate, drawing worshippers into a sacred space where the very essence of God's being is celebrated.
The spiritual narrative behind "Worthy of It All" plunges directly into the throne room described in the book of Revelation. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of cosmic reverence, where "all the saints and angels bow before Your throne" and "all the elders cast their crowns before the Lamb of God." This imagery directly echoes Revelation 4:10-11 and Revelation 5:8-14, depicting a scene of universal adoration where created beings, both heavenly and redeemed, humbly acknowledge God’s supreme authority. The casting of crowns signifies the surrender of all earthly accolades and achievements before the one true King, recognizing that all glory ultimately belongs to Him. It's a powerful reminder that our worship on earth is a participation in an eternal, ongoing symphony of praise in heaven.
The core declaration of the song, "You are worthy of it all," is not simply an emotional outburst but a foundational theological truth. This affirmation is immediately substantiated by the profound statement, "For from You are all things, and to You are all things." This echoes the Apostle Paul’s declaration in Romans 11:36, which states, "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen." It succinctly encapsulates the divine origin and ultimate purpose of all existence. God is not merely worthy because of His actions, but because of who He inherently is: the Creator, Sustainer, and Finisher of all things. Every atom, every breath, every star owes its being to Him, and therefore, all returns to Him in worship and glory. This truth grounds our praise in an objective reality, reminding us that our adoration is a rightful response to His inherent majesty and omnipotence.
The song then transitions into a repetitive, yet deeply meaningful, refrain: "Day and night, night and day, let incense arise." This section serves as a compelling call to continuous, unwavering prayer and worship. The "incense" here is a potent biblical metaphor for the prayers of the saints, as seen in Revelation 5:8, where golden bowls full of incense are identified as the prayers of God’s people. The repetition of "day and night" isn't just poetic; it’s a direct reflection of the ceaseless worship found in Revelation 4:8, where the four living creatures "never cease to say, 'Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!'" This part of the song challenges believers to cultivate a lifestyle of constant communion with God, allowing their lives to become an unceasing offering of prayer and praise. It moves beyond scheduled worship services to a heart posture that continually turns heavenward, a perpetual spiritual offering that ascends before the throne. It’s an invitation to align our earthly walk with the eternal worship unfolding in glory, making our lives a fragrant offering, a testament to God's enduring worthiness. This relentless focus on God's inherent value and our continuous response inspires a deeper, more intentional walk of faith, inviting us to live in a perpetual state of awe and adoration.
