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!
