Here I Am To Worship
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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

Well, I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Well, I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Well, I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross





Well, I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

I am Muslim..

Everytime I hear this song

I feel a special feeling like Jesus Christ is calling me..since then I pray for strength in my life..

We Muslims must believe in all prophet's..

I have even the name of our prophet.

Called Muhammad..

But I do believe in Jesus Christ a lot

More then prophet Muhammed.

My family are Muslims..and strictly raised to Islam.

But I give Jesus a special place in my heart.

Let your name be lifted high

Jesus Christ ,♥️♥️

Romans 8:38/39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God does not see you as a failure. He sees you as his child
If he seen you as a
Failure. He would not be a good father
All good fathers don’t see there children as failures. And he’s a good good father
Notin will separate you from the lords love. U are a child of god. Godbless yous
