Here I Am To Worship

A favourite modern worship song by Tim Hughes – inspired in part by Philippians 2, and in part by a Stephen King movie. Who among us hasn’t sung Here I Am To Worship in church these last 25 years?

LYRICS
Verse 1
Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Chorus
Here I am to worship. here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

Verse 2
King of all days, oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor

Bridge
I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
