The song has been performed by many choir groups and gospel artists during worship services and concerts several times. It is a free slow highlife contemporary praise song that became popular in the early 2000 after being sung at one of the Fountain of Praise concerts but was officially released on June 7, 2015.

You are worthy of all our praise.
