All the saints and angels, they bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns before the Lamb of God and sing

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 14, 2017, as part of *The Worship Initiative, Vol. 12*, Shane & Shane’s "Worthy Of It All" stands as a pure, unadulterated anthem of adoration, immediately inviting believers into a grand, celestial worship experience. The song’s message is rooted deeply in the prophetic visions of the Book of Revelation, bringing to life the profound reverence observed in the heavenly realms. It opens with the vivid imagery of "all the saints and angels... bow before Your throne," and "all the elders cast their crowns before the Lamb of God." This scene directly mirrors passages like Revelation 4:4, 10-11, where twenty-four elders are depicted falling down before Him who sits on the throne and casting their crowns, declaring the Creator's worthiness. It sets an immediate tone of humility and awe, reminding us that even the most exalted beings in creation offer their praise to God.
The core declaration, "You are worthy of it all, Jesus," is quickly followed by the profound theological statement, "For from You are all things / And to You are all things / You deserve the glory!" This central truth echoes Romans 11:36, which proclaims, "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen." It also resonates with 1 Corinthians 8:6, stating that "there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." This emphasizes God's ultimate sovereignty as the origin, sustainer, and ultimate purpose of all existence. The song thus establishes Jesus not merely as a recipient of worship, but as the inherent deserving object of all glory because of His preeminent role in creation and redemption. Every good and perfect gift, every breath we take, every aspect of our being, finds its source and its ultimate destination in Him.
As the song progresses, this declaration of worthiness is repeated, building a powerful, meditative momentum that draws the worshiper deeper into the truth. The repeated phrase, "Day and night, night and day, let incense arise," acts as a spiritual charge, a call to continuous and unceasing worship. The imagery of "incense" is deeply biblical, often symbolizing the prayers of the saints ascending to God, as found in Revelation 5:8 and Psalm 141:2. This bridge serves to remind us that worship is not confined to specific times or places; it is a perpetual posture of the heart and spirit, echoing the ceaseless praise offered in heaven. Revelation 4:8 describes the four living creatures who "day and night they never stop saying: 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.'" This continuous offering of praise transcends human limitations, inviting us to align our earthly worship with the eternal adoration happening in God's presence.
Ultimately, "Worthy Of It All" is more than just a song; it's a theological lesson wrapped in an accessible worship anthem. It meticulously directs our focus away from ourselves and onto the magnificent character of God, urging us to join the cosmic chorus that recognizes Jesus as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the One to whom all glory, honor, and power belong. The song’s simplicity in structure and profound depth of message make it an incredibly effective tool for corporate worship and personal devotion, fostering an atmosphere of genuine reverence and reminding us of the unchanging truth that Jesus is indeed worthy of every ounce of praise we can offer, now and for all eternity. It inspires a faithful response, urging us to participate in the ongoing story of redemption by offering our own continuous "incense" of praise and prayer.
