Here I Am To Worship/I Love The King
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
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
I'll never know
How much it cost
To see my sin
Upon that cross
I'll never know
How much it cost
To see my sin
Upon that cross
I'll never know
How much it cost
To see my sin
Upon that cross
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
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
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
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
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
The song "Here I Am To Worship/I Love The King" by Tim Hughes begins with the lines "Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness, Opened my eyes, let me see." These lines describe Jesus Christ as the light of the world and how he left the glory of heaven to come down to earth and save the human race. The following lines "Beauty that made this heart adore You, Hope of a life spent with You" express the admiration the songwriter feels towards Jesus and how he finds hope and purpose in his relationship with him.
The song goes on to show the humility of Christ, who even though he is the King of all days and is highly exalted in heaven, came to earth and became poor for the sake of love. This idea is presented in the lines "Humbly You came, To the earth You created, All for love's sake became poor." The song celebrates Christ's sacrifice, saying "I'll never know, How much it cost, To see my sin, Upon that cross."
The chorus of the song repeatedly states "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." These lines express the songwriter's desire to worship and honor Jesus, recognizing him as God and acknowledging his worth and goodness.
Overall, the song "Here I Am To Worship/I Love The King" is a beautiful expression of the songwriter's love and adoration for Jesus Christ. The lyrics capture the humility, sacrifice, and love of Christ and encourage listeners to worship and honor him.
