The Bible says the Lord is “worthy of praise” (Psalm 18:3) and calls us to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (Colossians 1:10).
Inspired by the worship song “Who Else” by Gateway Worship, Haley and Dustin talk through some of the lyrics and biblical concepts of the song. They discuss the role of music in our spiritual formation, how Jesus is worthy of all our worship, and what it means to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (Colossians 1:10). It’s an encouraging conversation about the Lord and how we can live in light of all that Jesus has done for us.

Song lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I am an instrument of exaltation
And I was born to lift Your name above all names
You hear the melody of all creation
But there's a song of praise that only I can bring
[Chorus]
Who else is worthy? Who else is worthy?
There is no one, only You, Jesus
Who else is worthy? Who else is worthy?
There is no one, only You, Jesus
[Verse 2]
You are the infinite God of the ages
Yet You chose to make my heart Your dwelling place
You healed my brokenness, showed me Your glory
So I have songs of thanks not even angels sing
[Bridge]
Lamb of God, anointed one
Who was and is and is to come
Seated on the throne above
Holy, Holy
Righteous one who shed His blood
To prove to us the Father's love
Jesus Christ be lifted up

They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
