Alabama Spirituals

Worthy is he; help me sing (Worthy is he)
Worthy is thy name (Worthy is thy name)
Worthy (Worthy is he); I know he is (Worthy is he) is he
Worthy (Worthy is thy name)

Let me say one thing, listen
I will bless the Lord at all, at all time
His praise shall continually be in my mouth
I will bless his name
Because of his saving grace
And that's why I'll give him all the praise

I don't mind saying
Worthy is he; somebody help me sing (Worthy is he) is he
Worthy; yes sir (Worthy is thy name), thy name, all over the world
Worthy (Worthy is he), yas, ummm, ummm,
so worthy (Worthy is he);
I tell it everywhere I go, he's worthy (Worthy is thy name)

Let me say one more thing
The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear
The Lord is the strength of my life and whom shall I be afraid
And that's why I praise him for his amazing grace

I'll take time out of every day and
sing, worthy is he, Hallelujah, he's
(Worthy is he) is he
Worthy is thy name; (Worthy is thy name), all over the world
Worthy (Worthy is he); yes sir,
ummm, he's so, (Worthy is he) so worthy
Worthy (Worthy is thy name) thy name

Let's go….ummm….ummm
He's worthy, somebody know he is (Worthy)
You ought to just think about it
sometime, he's worthy, he's so (Worthy)
Every now and then,
you ought to let your mind go back to just how good
God been to you, can I get a witness, here (Worthy)
Sometime when I couldn't see my way;
he made a way, and he's so worthy (Worthy)
I tell him sometime, you been my mother,
when mother was gone, and you are so worthy (Worthy)
I think about it,
just one lifetime of loving you Jesus,
(he is so worthy) wouldn't be long enough, oh, oh yeah
He's been good to me
He brought me
He taught me (Worthy)
He kept me
God ain't never left me
He just been good to me
Somebody know what I'm singing about, here (Worthy)
Has he been good to you
I lift up my hand and I praise your name Jesus (He is so worthy)

I'll praise your name Jesus, hey
It's at that name that every knee shall bow
