We Worship You
The Ambassador Lyrics

I was made to worship and adore you—enjoy you
I exist to worship and appreciate your greatness and take pleasure in doing so

Put you on a pedestal and lay there before you
I exalt you and humbly submit before you

The more you do work in me the more I can't ignore you
The more your transformative power is evident in me, the more I am drawn to worship you

I've been in awe
I have been in a state of reverential respect, admiration, and wonder

Every since my inner man first saw you
From the moment my inner being first perceived you

Got so many names
You are known by many names that are all true and worthy of worship

We can't run out of things to call you
There are countless names by which we can address you in worship

They're all true
All the names by which we address you are entirely accurate and authentic

These are what we ought to use to draw you
These names are the most fitting means by which we can approach you and worship you

'Cause any picture of the immortal is skimpy
No depiction or image of you can capture your full essence and grandeur

Even classic pictures by Leonardo DaVinci
Even renowned artworks such as those by Leonardo cannot fully capture your glory

'Cause you're the wise God
You are the all-wise God

Immortal and invisible
You are immortal and cannot be seen with physical eyes

And Jesus Christ is your only accurate visual
The only accurate representation of you is Jesus Christ, who reveals your nature and character

Every one should honor you just for your common grace
All people should revere and honor you simply for your goodness and kindness to all

Good comes from you God
All good things are a result of your benevolence and generosity

It's like wine and grapes
The good things we enjoy are like the product of grapes (wine) which come from your provision

You're omnipresent
You are present everywhere at all times

You protrude beyond time and space
You transcend time and space and are not limited by them

You're holy
You are entirely pure and set apart from all that is evil or impure

You're set apart like mom's china plates
You are as precious and set apart as the fine and delicate china plates that are carefully preserved

You're showy
You are glorious and display your dazzling grace

You got shekinah
You have the holy and glorious presence of God

And you shine your grace
You radiate and emanate your unearned and undeserved favor

You're an oldie
You have existed from ancient times, and your greatness and power are immutable

You go back like rewinding tapes
You have been present from before even the existence of modern technology, and your power and glory are everlasting

If not for you we would have been lost
Without you, we would be hopelessly lost and separated from your love and purpose

Sin's boss
Sin would have been our master and controlled us utterly

Until the day we met you at the cross with the Timbs off
Until we encountered you at the cross and surrendered ourselves to you completely

Told all my friends paying for sins was not a slim cost
We proclaimed to others that the price of forgiveness for sins was not small or insignificant

God had to become a man and go out on a limb for us
In order to save us, God had to become a human being and risk everything on our behalf

We need the blood that your Son shedded
We require the atoning blood that your Son, Jesus Christ, shed for our salvation

Nobody else's works
No human effort or work could ever accomplish our salvation

It's like using diesel when you need unleaded
Any other means of salvation or redemption would be as futile as using the wrong type of fuel for a vehicle

Good deeds won't stand like a man that's one legged
Our own good deeds are insufficient to earn or deserve redemption, like a man with only one leg cannot stand on his own

We don't have enough
Our own efforts and resources are wholly insufficient for our salvation

Like trying to graduate with one credit
Attempting to resolve our sin problem on our own is like attempting to graduate with only one credit

Jesus—the Father was pleased to crush ya
God the Father took pleasure in allowing Jesus to be crushed in order to provide salvation for us

Now we got a crush and want to be with you like girls wanna be with Usher
Now we have a deep, abiding love and desire to be with you, much like how teenage girls desire to be with the pop star Usher

Some have to see to believe they need to touch ya
Some require physical proof or contact to believe and trust in Jesus

You bless those who believe without seeing we need to trust ya
You bestow blessings and favor upon those who believe and trust in you without requiring physical proof or evidence

You brought us through
You have guided and sustained us through all our challenges and struggles

But in the process you caught a few
Yet, in the midst of guiding us, you suffered and endured much for our sake

Blows to the hands, feet, and the side
You endured physical agony and suffering, including being wounded in the hands, feet, and side

Your beard they tore that too
Your tormentors even desecrated your appearance by tearing out your beard

Fake gods fall short of you
All other false gods are inferior and inadequate when compared to your greatness and power

That's why we find ourselves pantin' like the deer from Psalm 42
That is why we thirst and long for you like a deer thirsts for water, as is described in Psalm 42

Hip-Hop—ain't used to this they bug off this maturity
The realm of rap music is unaccustomed to such deep and mature expressions of faith

We get our cue from the angels
We take our inspiration and guidance from the angels, who faithfully serve and worship you

They're covered up from your purity
Even the angels are reverential and awed by your pure and untainted nature

You're beautiful, immutable Lord you don't change
You are perfectly beautiful and unchanging, immutable in your character and nature

It's undisputable you're true
It is beyond question that you are real and true

Forever more you're the same
You are eternally the same, never fluctuating or changing

You reign
You rule and govern over all creation

All hail to the King—people let the praise drop
Let all people bow in worship and give praise to the true and worthy King

Come and meet a God who chose a Bride from the slave block
Come and encounter the God who selected a people who were once enslaved and held in bondage

There's evidence of your power and worth
The signs of your great power and worth are abundant and evident

I scour the earth and beyond I see powerful work
I have searched throughout the earth and beyond and have witnessed your mighty works and deeds

We look up to see what you hooked up and we see stars
We gaze up to the heavens and see the evidence of your creation and providence displayed in the stars

With the right lens we can look up and we see Mars
With appropriate technology and perspective, we can observe and marvel at the sheer grandeur of your handiwork, such as the planet Mars

We look around on the ground and we see cars
We observe the fruits of your provision and blessing in the technology and machinery that we use and rely on

And the ones you crowned and gave breath like CPR
You have bestowed glory and life upon the individuals that you have chosen and blessed

That's more than enough
All of these evidences of your power and goodness are more than sufficient to inspire our worship and adoration

Not to worship would be robbery
To fail to honor and worship you would be the ultimate theft, robbing you of the glory and praise that are rightfully yours

Hip-Hop knows how to worship
Even the genre of Hip-Hop is capable of and equipped for honoring and praising you

Look at how they worship property
Even in songs that glorify material wealth and possessions, there is evidence of a desire to worship and appreciate your provision and generosity

There's got to be some elect in the crowd
There are certainly individuals present in the crowd who have been chosen and called by you

Come to Christ
All ought to come to Jesus Christ, the means by which we can approach and worship you

Let's get set to worship Him now
Let us prepare our hearts and minds to enter into worship and adoration of him immediately
