Andrew Brunson

WORTHY OF MY ALL

In 2016 Andrew Brunson, an American pastor living and working in Turkey, was arrested on false charges of terrorism. He spent more than two years in various Turkish prisons before he was finally released in 2018. Following his first court appearance and facing the prospect of life in prison Pastor Andrew composed this song in his prison courtyard.

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
