Worthy Lyrics


It took a mighty blow
To crack me all the way to the core
To finally come to know
That I could ask for more
I've wondered all my life
Tryna find a home

Left ya stumblin' in the dark
So I had to go within
I trace every one of my scar

It was so hard for me to feel that I wasWorthy, worthy
What a thing to claim!
Worthy, worthy

Ashes into flames
Oh, ah, worthyI've walked through a wall of fire
Left behind the only life I knew
No way back, nowhere to hide
But finally, finally a voice came through
Oh, and said that I wasWorthy, worthy
What a thing to claim!
Worthy, worthy
Ashes into flames
Oh, ah, worthy
