Light of the World - Here I am to Worship

Here I Am To Worship - Lyrics

Light of the world, You step down into darkness. Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore you hope of a life spent with you.

 And 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.

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.

I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.

I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.

And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.

No I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.

And 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.

Biblical Principles This Song Teaches

Jesus is the Light of the World – John 8:12

Jesus Emptied Himself – Step from Light to Darkness – Philippians 2:5-11

We are spiritually Blinded until He opens our eyes – 2 Corinthians 4:4

Worship – Recognize His Excellence

Bow Down – Recognize His Majesty

Altogether Lovely – Recognize His Purity

Altogether Worthy – Recognize His Worthiness

Altogether Wonderful – Recognize His Limitlessness

King of all Days – Recognize His Power

Humbly You came – Recognize His Humanity

Recognize that He alone is worthy of true Worship.

He is God and We are not.

Notes for the Night

What is Worship?

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."  John 4:24 (NIV)

Is Worship Limited to God?  What else can we worship?

For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.

1 John 2:16 (NIV)

What is it called when we “Worship” anything other than God?   Idolatry

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"  Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)

Worship leads us to Love God with all that we are and serve others.  

Anything short of that isn’t true worship
