Revelation 5:4-5 … I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

In the present darkness and conflict that surrounds us daily, this amazing song

brings us immense hope.

Even though all creation is groaning

A new creation is coming!

Andrew Peterson was drawn to write a song with a question and answer. “Is He Worthy?” is the result and is sung antiphonally (worship leader asks the question and the congregation/choir responds with the answer). It is based on Revelation 5 ….

Only Jesus is worthy to open the scroll … Only Jesus …As he triumphs over the intense battle that exists between good and evil.

Why??

The Lion of Judah

Has conquered the grave

The Father truly loves us

The Spirit moves among us

Jesus, our Messiah

Hold forever those He loves

Is He worthy?

Of this?

HE IS!!

This beautiful song brings hope. A hope that can only be fulfilled through Jesus Christ. Hope is a person and His name is Jesus.

Is He Worthy?
