Here I Am To Worship
Diante do Trono
A Heartfelt Ode to Divine Worship
Diante do Trono's song 'Here I Am To Worship' is a profound expression of reverence and adoration towards the divine. The lyrics begin by acknowledging the 'Light of the world' who steps down into darkness, symbolizing a divine presence that brings enlightenment and clarity to human lives. This act of divine intervention opens the eyes of the believer, allowing them to see the beauty and hope that comes from a life spent in spiritual communion. The imagery of light and darkness is a powerful metaphor for the transition from ignorance or despair to understanding and hope.
The chorus, 'Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,' is a declaration of the singer's intent to offer themselves in worship and submission. This act of worship is not just about acknowledging the divine's greatness but also about recognizing their own place in the grand scheme of things. The repetition of 'altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful' emphasizes the completeness and perfection of the divine, making it clear why the singer feels compelled to worship.
The second verse highlights the humility of the divine, who, despite being 'King of all days' and 'glorious in heaven above,' chose to come to earth and live a humble life. This act of love and sacrifice is central to the song's message, underscoring the idea that true greatness lies in humility and selflessness. The line 'I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross' reflects a deep sense of gratitude and awe for the sacrifice made for humanity's salvation. The closing lines, 'Call upon the Name of the Lord and be saved,' serve as an invitation to others to experience this divine love and salvation for themselves.
