Here I Am to Worship You Are Good
Israel & New Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stepped down into darkness
Open 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 all together worthy
You're all together wonderful to me
King of all days
Also highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly you came to the earth you created
All full of sin 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 all together lovely
You're all together worthy
You're all together wonderful to me
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross 5x
No greate love that a man would lay
Down his life for a friend
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
End.
The opening lines of Israel & New Breed's song "Here I Am to Worship You Are Good" invite the listener to reflect on the significance of Christ's descent into the world as an act of divine revelation. The light of the world is Jesus, who left heaven's glory to travel to earth, where he entered the darkness of the human condition. The singer of the song asks to have their eyes opened so that they can perceive the beauty of Christ, which causes their heart to adore him. The promise of a life spent with Jesus frames the singer's motivation for worshiping the Lord.
As the hymn progresses through the chorus, the singer declares their intention to worship the Lord with humility and reverence, offering adoration to God as a sign of his worthiness. The song goes on to draw an association between the humility of Christ and his exaltation as the king of kings, a paradox that demonstrates the power of God's love. The lyrics of "Here I Am to Worship You Are Good" urge the listener to consider the depths of Christ's sacrificial love for humanity, symbolized by his death on the cross. The final lines of the hymn underscore the centrality of Christ's sacrifice to the worship of the singer.
