This Is Who You Are: A New Worship Song with Lyrics Declaring the Names and Attributes of God

About This Is Who You Are

This Is Who You Are is a new worship song with lyrics that does one thing from beginning to end: it declares who God is by Malachi Ben-David - scripture-rooted worship music built on the names and attributes of God rather than on how we feel about them. If you're looking for worship songs, worship songs with lyrics, or Christian worship that keeps its eyes on the throne, this is a slow, reverent worship song written for prayer, corporate worship, and personal devotion. Rooted in the throne-room scenes of Revelation and the great "I Am" of Scripture, This Is Who You Are moves through name after name - Ancient of Days, Alpha and Omega, El Shaddai, Yahweh, King of kings - until the whole song becomes a single act of praise.

Drawn from Daniel, Isaiah, Exodus, the Psalms, and the book of Revelation, this worship music release avoids vague sentiment and instead uses the precise language of the Word: immutable and unchanging, Holy, Sovereign, Faithful and Good, slow to anger and rich in love. It is a worship song for prayer and for any moment that needs to fix its gaze on God's holiness and sovereignty. Its refrain never wavers: this is who You are.

Behind the Song

Most worship songs tell God what He means to us. This Is Who You Are does the harder thing - it tells God who He is, and lets that be the whole of the praise. "You are the Ancient of Days, eternal, without end / Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End." From the first line the song sets its gaze on the throne and refuses to look away. It's worship built on revelation rather than emotion, the kind of scripture-rooted worship music that draws its language straight out of Daniel's vision and John's Revelation.

The verses climb through the names of God like steps toward an altar. The first fixes on His eternity and holiness - immutable, unchanging, the Rock that stands forever. The second turns to His power and majesty: "Almighty, El Shaddai, with power none can compare," omnipotent and omnipresent and omniscient, righteous and just and true. This is where worship songs with lyrics earn their weight, because every phrase is a doctrine as much as a melody, and the listener isn't just moved - they're taught who they are singing to.

Then the chorus lands the whole ascent in one confession: "This is who You are, this is who You are / Holy, Sovereign, Gracious, forever You remain." It's the still center of the song, the point where all the names resolve into worship. As Christian worship, it works the way the throne-room scenes in Revelation work - the more clearly God's character is named, the more inevitable the praise becomes.

The later verses widen the view without losing the reverence. "You are Faithful and Good, Your mercy never fails / Compassionate and Kind, slow to anger, rich in love" - the language of Exodus 34 set beside the "King of kings and Lord of lords" of Revelation. Incomparable, inexhaustible, immortal, divine: the song runs out of ordinary words and reaches for the ones Scripture already gave it. That is by design. This Is Who You Are is worship music for prayer and for corporate worship precisely because it hands the congregation God's own vocabulary and asks them only to mean it.

By the final chorus nothing has been asked of God and nothing needs to be. The song has done what the best worship songs do - it has made a high view of God feel like the most natural response in the room. Majestic, zealous, perfect in every way, worthy of all glory, honor and praise. This is who You are.

Biblical Background

This Is Who You Are is a worship song assembled almost entirely from the Bible's own descriptions of God, gathered under four themes. Its eternal names come from Daniel's vision of the Ancient of Days and Revelation's Alpha and Omega, anchored by Malachi 3:6 and Deuteronomy 32:4 - the God who does not change. Its declarations of holiness and majesty echo Isaiah 6:3, Exodus 15:11, and the ceaseless "Holy, holy, holy" of Revelation 4:8.

The attributes verses draw on Genesis 17:1 (El Shaddai, God Almighty), Psalm 147:5, Psalm 89:14, and Exodus 34:6-7 - almighty, all-knowing, just, and rich in mercy. The sovereignty and worship that close the song rest on 1 Timothy 1:17, Philippians 2:9-11, and Revelation 19:16, with the throne-room worship of Revelation 4 and 5 as its model. Every reference is listed below in KJV, in the order the song moves through them.
