Andrew Peterson - Is He Worthy?


Hi!

In 2018, Andrew Peterson released a video for his gentle and lovely Praise and Worship song, Is He Worthy?

According to the video's description—it was filmed in a in a single continuous take—beginning with Peterson accompanying himself on piano seated alone in a beautiful church—with an unseen choir heard echoing answers to his lyrical questions.

As the steady camera moves in and pans around him—it then reveals the choir who've joined him in the still otherwise "empty" church.

After strings are added musically—the camera moves back and then reveals a small string ensemble who've also been moved into view.

This "trick" is repeated for a percussionist—and ultimately shows the church now filled with people in the pews.

The video is a lovely compliment to a beautiful song about our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Messiah.

I pray as you listen you'll feel His presence and Spirit—and be drawn to the Lord of Light—The Worthy King of kings, and Savior—Jesus the Christ!

Is He Worthy? - Lyrics

Do you feel the world is broken?
(We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
(We do)
But do you know that all the dark
Won't stop the light from getting through?
(We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
(We do)

Is all creation groaning?
(It is)
Is a new creation coming?
(It is)
Is the glory of the Lord
To be the Light within our midst?
(It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?
(It is)

Is anyone worthy, is anyone whole? 
Is anyone able to break the seal, and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave 
He is David's root and the Lamb 
Who died to ransom the slave 
Is He worthy, is He worthy 
Of all blessing and honor and glory? 
Is He worthy of this? 
He is!

Does the Father truly love us?
(He does)
Does the Spirit move among us?
(He does)
And does Jesus our Messiah
Hold forever those He loves?
(He does) 
Does our God intend to dwell again with us?
(He does)

From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue 
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God 
To reign with the Son
Is He worthy, is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is He worthy, is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Is He worthy?

He is!

Thanks so much for stopping by—
 
May God Richly Bless you!

Jesus is LORD!

Time is growing short!

Seek Him!

   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

May God Bless You!

Acts 2:17-21
