As We Come Today
Matt Redman Lyrics

"As We Come Today" is a praise and worship song by Matt Redman that reflects on the act of worship itself. Redman uses the lyrics to remind listeners that worship is more than just singing and playing instruments, it is a holy moment where something of heaven touches earth. He believes that worship is a sign of love for God, and encourages listeners to worship with their hands held high and hearts bowed low.

The opening lines of "As We Come Today" remind listeners of the purpose of worship. Redman invites listeners to reflect on what they do when they come before God in worship. He emphasizes that the songs we sing are more than just lyrics, they are a sign of love for God. According to Redman, worship is a holy moment where heaven touches earth, and we join with the voices of angels to lift up the name of the Lord. He describes the act of worship as a shout of love, where we run through the gates of God with our arms open wide, ready to worship.

The second half of the song focuses on the grace that allows us to come before God in worship. Redman acknowledges that we are not worthy to enter God's presence, but we do so with confidence because of the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. He reminds listeners that God is the Holy King of all, with heaven and earth in his hands. Redman affirms that we are joined by the angels in worship, and invites listeners to join their song. The song is a call to worship, an invitation to come and offer praise to God.
