Jesus Culture - Only One Worthy Lyrics
Lyrics
Behold the risen Son of God
Who's face outshines a thousand suns
With righteousness He reigns in majesty
A hundred years are not enough
To scratch the surface of His love
Thank God we have eternity to sing
Jesus, Lamb of God
The only one worthy
Savior, from cross to grave
Love made a way
Worthy
In awe we stand before You now
And crown You King with every crown
Praise God with every fiber of our being
Praise God with every fiber of our being
Jesus, Lamb of God
The only one worthy
Savior, from cross to grave
Love made a way
Worthy
Yes, You are
Jesus, Lamb of God
The only one worthy
Yeah
Savior, from cross to grave
Love made a way
Worthy
You're so worthy
You're so worthy
Let's sing this together
People singing "worthy"

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus Culture's "Only One Worthy," released on July 21, 2023, as part of the album *Why Not Right Now?*, is a powerful declaration of the supreme worthiness of Jesus Christ. The song immerses the listener in the profound truth of Christ's resurrection and reign, immediately establishing His divine authority with imagery of a "risen Son of God" whose face outshines a thousand suns. This opening paints a vivid picture of His unparalleled glory and majesty, a concept echoed in Scripture, such as in Revelation 1:16, where John describes Jesus' countenance as shining like the sun. The lyrics then delve into the immensity of His love, suggesting that even a hundred years would be insufficient to grasp its depth, a sentiment that resonates with the expansive promises found in Ephesians 3:18-19, which speaks of understanding the "breadth, and length, and depth, and height" of Christ's love. The anticipation of eternity dedicated to singing His praises underscores the boundless nature of this love and the endless capacity for worship it inspires.
At its core, "Only One Worthy" functions as a vibrant anthem of adoration. The repeated chorus, "Jesus, Lamb of God, The only one worthy, Savior, from cross to grave, Love made a way, Worthy," is not merely a catchy refrain but a theological cornerstone. The title "Lamb of God" immediately calls to mind John the Baptist's declaration in John 1:29, signifying Christ's sacrificial role in atoning for the sins of the world. The progression from "cross to grave" to the affirmation of His saving power is a direct nod to the redemptive narrative of the Gospel. This journey of salvation, where love itself paved the path to reconciliation, is the central message. The lyrics then transition into a communal act of worship, with phrases like "In awe we stand before You now, And crown You King with every crown." This act of crowning Jesus as King is a powerful expression of submission and recognition of His supreme authority, aligning with Philippians 2:9-11, which states that God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name above every name, so that at His name every knee should bow. The fervent plea to praise God with "every fiber of our being" captures the holistic nature of true worship, encompassing our entire existence as advocated in Romans 12:1, where believers are called to present their bodies as living sacrifices.
The latter half of the song builds on this foundation, inviting an active and responsive engagement with the truth of Christ's worthiness. The question posed, "People singing 'worthy,' Can you hear it? Worthy. Can you feel it? Worthy is Your name," is an invitation to participate in the heavenly chorus. It calls listeners to not just passively receive the message but to actively acknowledge and proclaim the intrinsic value of Jesus. The declarations, "You deserve it. Worthy. Heaven knows it. Worthy. There is none more. Worthy is Your name," directly address the unparalleled nature of Christ's perfection and the universal recognition of His supreme status. This speaks to the divine affirmation of Christ's identity and the ultimate truth of His incomparable nature, as prophesied in Isaiah 42:8, "I am the Lord; that is my name. I will not give my glory to another." "Only One Worthy" ultimately serves as a profound reminder and a call to action: to fix our gaze upon the resurrected Christ, to acknowledge His sacrificial love that conquered death, and to joyfully join in the eternal proclamation of His unparalleled worthiness.
