Here I am to worship Lyrics

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore you
Hope of a life
Spent with you

CHORUS:
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 exaled
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love the last two lines: "I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross." Just a big AMEN. A beautiful worship song. When I think of how frightened Jesus must have been (as he asked God why he had been forsaken) after all the pain and humiliation he had suffered at the hands of the Romans; Jews; and gentiles, I am rejuvinated; any problems present in my life are but a speck of dirt on the timeline of life. How fortunate we are to have God's grace (if we choose it). Smith does an excellent job with any song he sings. (Breathe is my favorite, but yet to be added to this site.)
