All the saints and angels, they 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, Jesus
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory
Singing oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oooh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh, oooh-ooh-oh-ooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oooh
Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-oooh-ooh
All the saints and angels, they 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, Jesus
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory!
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!

Meaning & Inspiration
Worthy Of It All centers on heavenly worship, portraying saints, angels, and elders bowing before the throne and laying down their crowns. The repeated declaration that God deserves all glory gives the song a clear focus: everything has its source and purpose in him. Its imagery closely echoes the worship scenes in Revelation, where the Lamb receives honor and the elders surrender their crowns.
The day-and-night refrain presents praise as continual devotion, using rising incense as an image for worship offered without interruption. Repetition strengthens the sense of a gathered congregation fixed on the worth of Jesus rather than on personal circumstances. The song moves between awe before the throne and a direct confession of divine sovereignty. Romans 11:36 also closely parallels its central line about all things being from God and to God, while Revelation supplies the language of the worthy Lamb and unending praise.
