New Life Worship - Worthy Lyrics

The lyric is a first-person response to the cross, framed around the idea that the price of sin was paid by another. Lines such as "The cross was mine but You laid down Your precious life" and "Was given when You gave Your Son most worthy" place the sacrifice of Jesus at the center, and the singer describes it as a gift of love that will never be lost.

The verses move from surrender, "My heart is Yours there is no choice," to a sense of return, with the words "for I'm returning" suggesting restoration after distance. The closing refrain, "Worthy worthy is the Lamb for sinners slain," is short and repeatable, which suits group singing.

The title and the Lamb language echo Revelation 5, where heavenly voices declare the slain Lamb worthy. The line about a price that could not be paid is close to Peter's teaching that believers were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, and Romans 5:8 speaks of love shown while people were still sinners.
