Pastor Andrew Brunson Worthy of My All Written at Buca Prison in Turkey, Sep 10, 2017

You are worthy, worthy of my all My tears and pain I lift up as an offering Teach me to share in the fellowship of your suffering Lamb of God, you are worthy of my all

You are worthy, worthy of my all Adopted as a son, a brother to my King Indeed, I will share in your glory if I share your suffering Jesus, you are worthy of my all

You are worthy, worthy of my all But my heart faints, drowned in sorrow, overwhelmed Make me like you, Cross-bearer, persevering, faithful to the end To stand the trial and receive the crown of life

You are worthy, worthy of my all This is my declaration in the darkest hour Jesus, the Faithful One who loves me, always good and true You made me yours, you are worthy of my all

I want to be found worthy to stand before you on that day With no regrets from cowardice, things left undone To hear you say, “Well done, my faithful friend, now enter your reward” Jesus, my Joy, you are the prize I’m running for

You are worthy, worthy of my all You are worthy, worthy of my all What can I give to the Son of God, who gave himself for me Here I am, you are worthy of my all
