Lyrics

Verse 1


It was my cross you bore
So I could live in the freedom you died for
And now my life is yours
And I will sing of your goodness forevermore


Chorus (x2)


Worthy is your name Jesus
You deserve the praise
Worthy is your name


Verse 2


And now my shame is gone
I stand amazed in your love undeniable
Your grace goes on and on
And I will sing of your goodness forevermore 


Chorus (x2, Repeat)


Worthy is your name Jesus
You deserve the praise
Worthy is your name 


Bridge (x6)


Be exalted now in the heavens
As your glory fills this place
You alone deserve our praise
You’re the name above all names 


Final Chorus (x2)


Worthy is your name Jesus
You deserve the praise
Worthy is your name

Meaning & Inspiration

The song centers on the worthiness of Jesus, proclaimed through the language of exchange and rescue. The first verse describes a transfer: the cross that belonged to the singer was carried by Christ, so that the resulting freedom is not earned but received. That freedom shapes the response, a life offered back in praise.

The second verse moves from the objective work of the cross to its personal effect, shame removed and replaced by wonder at a love that keeps extending grace. The chorus repeatedly names Jesus as worthy, not as an earned status but as the fitting response to who he is and what he has done. The bridge lifts the perspective further, declaring that the name above all names fills the heavens and the place of worship. The phrase "name above all names" echoes the scriptural language of exaltation found in Philippians, though the song does not quote it verbatim. The repetition of the chorus and bridge functions as a sustained act of adoration, grounding the whole reflection in the conviction that Jesus alone deserves praise.
