Here I Am To Worship / The Call
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
