Lyrics:

[English]

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

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

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

And 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

Call upon the name of the Lord And be saved

I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross
