Meaning & Inspiration

Anthem Of Praise is a short worship song that joins the praise of heaven described in Revelation. The opening lines call it the anthem of praise and say that the singer hears it, and the central section repeats "Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb" and "Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb," each word repeated for emphasis. The words are arranged in cycles so a choir or congregation can build them over time.

A verse names the Lion of Judah, the One on the throne, as the only One worthy to open the scrolls, and the closing section repeats the heavenly list of blessing and honor and glory and power, with all praise and worship around the throne. The themes follow Revelation 5:12 on the Lamb being worthy of power and honor, Revelation 5:5 on the Lion of Judah, and Revelation 4:8 on the cry of holy. The simple, repeated phrases and steady build give the song a reverent, majestic tone suited to corporate worship.
