Here I Am
Marsh Feat. Eleven.Five 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

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

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

And I'll never know
How much it cost
To see my sin
Upon that cross
Upon that cross
Upon 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

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

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

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
