Here I Am To Worship

Michael W. Smith · Worship Again [2002]

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

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

(call up on the name of the Lord and be saved....)

Here I Am To Worship

Michael W. Smith's 'Here I Am To Worship' serves as a cornerstone of his 2002 album, Worship Again. The track exemplifies the contemporary Christian music genre, blending acoustic guitar with emotive vocals to create an atmosphere of reverence and personal devotion. Released during a period where Smith solidified his status as a leading figure in the genre, the song reflects the themes of surrender and faith that define his discography. Its melodic structure and lyrical focus on immediate presence in worship made it a staple in church services and worship gatherings throughout the early 2000s. The recording stands as a testament to Smith's ability to craft accessible yet spiritually resonant music that continues to influence the landscape of modern Christian worship.
