https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me/videos/watch/67f57a63-ab94-4ec6-b90b-89c54b0cec87 "I Am Not Worthy" is a contemplative Catholic devotional song inspired by the profound humility of Saint John the Baptist and the astonishing humility of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist recognized the infinite majesty of Christ and declared: "The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose." — John 1:27 (Douay-Rheims) Years later, at the Last Supper, the One whose sandals John would not dare touch knelt before His disciples and washed their feet (John 13:4–5). In this great reversal, Christ reveals the very heart of God—not One who comes to be served, but One who comes to serve, to cleanse, to dwell within us, and to lead us home. This song is a prayer of every Christian soul: "Lord, I am not worthy..." Yet Christ answers with unfathomable mercy: "I know. That is why I came." Drawing upon the witness of Saint John the Baptist, the washing of the disciples' feet, the Communion of Saints, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, this song journeys from humble confession to joyful surrender. It invites each listener to ask the Holy Spirit, together with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint John the Baptist, and all the angels and saints, to prepare the way within our hearts and prepare a throne for Christ the King. Scriptural Inspiration • John 1:26–27 — The humility of John the Baptist • Mark 1:7–8 • Luke 3:16 — "I am not worthy to loosen the straps of His sandals." • John 13:4–15 — Jesus washes the disciples' feet • John 15:15 — "I have called you friends." • Hebrews 2:11 — Christ calls us His brothers. • 1 Corinthians 3:16 — The Holy Spirit dwells within us. • Hebrews 12:1 — The great cloud of witnesses • Revelation 3:20 — "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." "He must increase; I must decrease." — John 3:30 May this song draw every heart more deeply into the humility of John, the love of Christ, and the peace of His abiding presence. Come, Holy Spirit. Prepare the way within our hearts. Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Amen. Lyrics to Lord, I Am Not Worthy: John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. I am the voice; He is the Word. I am the servant; He is the Lord. I baptize with water; He baptizes with the Holy Spirit. I prepare the way; He is the Way. I announce the Bridegroom; He claims the Bride. I am a creature; He is the Creator. Therefore I am not worthy To loosen the straps of His sandals. Lord, I am not worthy To loosen the straps of Your sandals. Brother, I am not worthy, Yet You walk beside me. Friend, I am not worthy, Yet You call me by name. Father, I am not worthy To stand before Your glory. Holy Spirit of God, I am not worthy, Yet You dwell within me. With Mary and Joseph, With Saint John the Baptist, With all the angels and saints, Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Let love of God and love of neighbor Be the song my heart sings. Let mercy and forgiveness Be the path on which I walk. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Before the Lord, I kneel. Beside my Brother, I walk. As my Friend, He knows my name. Before the Father, I stand in awe. Through the Holy Spirit, God dwells within me. With the Cloud of Witnesses, I am never alone. And by His grace, My heart becomes His dwelling place. Lord, I am not worthy To loosen the straps of Your sandals. Brother, I am not worthy, Yet You walk beside me. Friend, I am not worthy, Yet You call me by name. Father, I am not worthy To stand before Your glory. Holy Spirit of God, I am not worthy, Yet You dwell within me. With Mary and Joseph, With Saint John the Baptist, With all the angels and saints, Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Let love of God and love of neighbor Be the song my heart sings. Let mercy and forgiveness Be the path on which I walk. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. I am not worthy To loosen the straps of Your sandals. Yet You kneel before me. I am not worthy To touch Your feet. Yet You wash my feet. I am not worthy To stand before Your glory. Yet You call me friend. Yet You call me brother. Yet You make Your home in me. And when I cry, "Lord, I am not worthy," I hear You whisper, "I know. That is why I came. To walk beside you. To call you by name. To dwell within you. To bring you home." Lord, I am not worthy To loosen the straps of Your sandals. Brother, I am not worthy, Yet You walk beside me. Friend, I am not worthy, Yet You call me by name. Father, I am not worthy To stand before Your glory. Holy Spirit of God, I am not worthy, Yet You dwell within me. With Mary and Joseph, With Saint John the Baptist, With all the angels and saints, Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. Let love of God and love of neighbor Be the song my heart sings. Let mercy and forgiveness Be the path on which I walk. Prepare the way within my heart, Prepare a throne for Christ the King. John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
