This hymn was ins­pired by An­drew Brun­son’s hymn, You Are Wor­thy of My All, com­posed while be­ing held false­ly as a po­lit­ic­al pris­on­er while serv­ing as a mis­sion­ary to Tur­key. He is a fel­low alum­nus of Whea­ton Col­lege.

I am told that the words of his hymn are help­ing to keep his faith in God alive as he fac­es a host of in­jus­tic­es.

Lyrics

Lord, You alone are worthy,
So worthy of all my praises!
You alone are worthy
Of all honor and all glo­ry,
You alone are worthy!
And I worship You alone,
O God of my sal­va­tion!

You’re my Blessèd Re­deem­er,
My Sav­ior and my Lord!
I worship You, and You alone,
Holy Word of Truth and Life!
I worship You alone,
For You alone are worthy,
To You I owe my all!
