Blessing & Honor by Victory Worship feat. Lee Brown [Official Lyric & Chords Video]
Meaning & Inspiration
Victory Worship’s "Blessing and Honor," released on September 9, 2016, featuring Lee Brown, stands as a powerful declaration of worship, deeply rooted in biblical adoration for God. From its very opening, the song serves as a direct, unreserved offering of praise, articulating a profound understanding of who God is and what He has accomplished. It's a prayer, a proclamation, and an invitation all at once, weaving a narrative of divine majesty and human response that resonates with the core tenets of Christian faith.
The song’s foundational meaning centers on the comprehensive glory and redemptive power of God, specifically through the person of Jesus Christ. It sets out to name the attributes and actions of God that elicit such worship, building a theological framework around the sacrifice, resurrection, and sovereignty of the "Lamb" and "King upon the throne." The lyrics are not merely expressive; they are doxological, aiming to articulate eternal truths about the divine. This structure creates an experience not just of hearing, but of participating in a communal act of giving God His due praise, stemming from a recognition of His ultimate authority and grace.
The initial stanzas meticulously identify the object of worship, moving from "the One" to "the Lamb," then to "our King upon the throne," "the Christ," "our Savior," and finally, "the risen Son of God." This progression highlights Jesus' multifaceted role: as the singular God (Deuteronomy 6:4), the sacrificial Lamb whose blood atones for sin (John 1:29, Revelation 5:9), the reigning monarch (Psalm 47:8), the Anointed One, the Deliverer, and the eternally resurrected Lord (Romans 1:4). This careful naming ensures that the worship is directed precisely at the person and work of Christ, providing a rich theological anchor for the entire composition.
The recurring chorus, "Blessing and honor, glory and power, Salvation belongs to our God," forms the beating heart of the song, echoing the heavenly worship seen in Scripture. Revelation 5:13 provides a direct parallel, where all creation declares, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" By proclaiming that "Salvation belongs to our God," the song underscores a fundamental truth: salvation is not earned or achieved by human effort, but is a divine gift, originating solely from God's grace and mercy (Psalm 3:8, Revelation 7:10). The phrase "now and forever" further emphasizes the eternal and unchanging nature of God's dominion and His worthiness of unending praise, a truth affirmed in Hebrews 13:8.
The second verse deepens this personal connection, addressing God as "our Hope, our Redeemer," recognizing Him as the source of all future expectation and the one who has bought us back from sin (Colossians 1:27, Isaiah 59:20). The direct acknowledgment of "the sacrifice You made" explicitly points to Christ's crucifixion as the ultimate act of love and redemption (Hebrews 9:28, 1 Peter 2:24). The subsequent lines, "From our hearts to the heavens, For Your glory we proclaim," beautifully articulate the vertical ascent of worship, where genuine adoration wells up from within and reaches towards God's throne, driven by a singular desire to magnify His name. This is not just intellectual agreement but a wholehearted, active declaration.
As the song builds, the bridge introduces an even grander perspective, declaring, "So holy, so worthy, So great is Your name." This language mirrors the seraphim's cry in Isaiah 6:3 ("Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty") and the elders' adoration in Revelation 4:8 and 5:9, acknowledging God's absolute purity, moral perfection, and inherent right to receive all praise. His "great name" encompasses His character, authority, and majestic being (Psalm 8:1, Psalm 145:3). The aspirational declaration that "the earth will adore You and shout out Your fame" transforms the individual worship into a prophetic vision of universal homage. It speaks to a future reality where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). This inspires present worship by connecting it to a glorious, inevitable future, urging all creation to participate in recognizing God's matchless greatness. The repetition in this section serves not as mere filler, but as a deepening of focus, allowing these profound truths to sink into the spirit and become a personal anthem of praise.
In its entirety, "Blessing and Honor" is a meticulously crafted worship anthem, rich in theological depth and designed to facilitate sincere adoration. It systematically builds its argument for God's praise, moving from specific Christological titles to universal declarations of His glory and redemptive power. It encourages believers to articulate their praise not just with words, but with a full understanding of who God is and what He has done, drawing heavily from the imagery and declarations found in Scripture. This song is a powerful reminder that all blessing, honor, glory, and power, and indeed, all salvation, belong irrevocably to our God, now and forevermore.
