Lyrics of
Here I Am To Worship

Here I Am to Worship was composed by Tim Hughes and has become a beloved hymn in churches worldwide. It was inspired by Jesus Christs divinity and humanity and the desire to bow down in worship before Him. Tim Hughes wrote the song reflecting on Philippians 2:6-11, which speaks about Jesus not considering equality with God something to be grasped, but humbling Himself by taking on human nature.

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

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And you're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

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

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And you're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

I'll never know, how much it costs
To see my sin, up on that cross
I'll never know, how much it costs
To see my sin, up on that cross

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And you're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
