Lyrics
VERSE 1
Worthy is the one
Who was, and is, and is to come
To be called the name
Above all names
Who could out compose
The awe of angels and the saints
Face down at the throne beneath the weight
CHORUS
For you are high
High and lifted up
On symphonies of praise
Exalted night and day
Age to age
VERSE 2
Glory power and thanks
Belong to you and you alone
Wisdom is your crown
And strength your robe
Who could see your face
And not with every breath proclaim
None shall match your worth
Or take your place
BRIDGE
Holy, is the Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
“Age To Age” centers on God’s unmatched worth and the unending praise offered before his throne. Its opening gathers language associated with Revelation: the One who was, is, and is to come receives honor from angels and saints. The image of worshipers facedown beneath the weight of divine glory emphasizes reverence, while the chorus pictures praise continuing night and day from one age to another.
The second verse attributes glory, power, thanksgiving, wisdom, and strength to God alone. These qualities are not presented as temporary achievements but as marks of his eternal rule. The closing declaration, “Holy is the Lord,” condenses the song’s response into the language of heavenly worship. Throughout the lyric, praise arises from contemplating who God is rather than from a request for personal benefit. The result is a worship song shaped by awe, exclusivity, and continuity: no rival can match God’s worth, occupy his place, or interrupt the praise due to him.
