Is He Worthy
by Andrew Peterson
Theology & Meaning
This song uses a call and response format to hold together the brokenness of the world and the worthiness of Christ. It acknowledges longing and groaning while pointing to the Lamb who is worthy to open the scroll. The theology is rich and deeply rooted in Revelation.
Worship Leadership Tips
This works best when you intentionally lead the call and response, letting the congregation answer clearly. It fits well in more reflective services or in seasons of cultural tension and pain. Take time to explain the Revelation imagery so people do not feel lost.
Arrangement Tips
Simplicity serves this song. A piano or acoustic guitar with minimal support can help the call and response stand out. Keep the tempo steady and do not over extend the ending.
