Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brothers and sisters, I beg you
In light of all He's done for us
To offer yourselves in worship to our God

Brothers and sisters, I ask you
Present yourselves a living sacrifice
Holy and acceptable to our God

Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives

Father, we come to You humbly
Recognizing Your infinite glory
Jesus, we're so grateful for Your sacrifice

Spirit, we ask You to fill us
To come in and change us and move us
To carry our mortal worship to the Divine

Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives

Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives

Jesus, we come to worship You

Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives
