Here I Am To Worship

The song "Here I Am To Worship" by Hillsong Music Australia is a contemporary Christian hymn that expresses deep reverence and adoration for Jesus Christ, recognized in Christian belief as the light of the world. The lyrics describe the transformative experience of coming into the presence of the divine, acknowledging the sacrifice made by Jesus, and offering oneself in worship. The opening lines set the tone for the song, speaking of a spiritual awakening ('Opened my eyes let me see') and recognizing the beauty of the divine ('Beauty that made this heart adore You').

The chorus, 'Here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God,' is a declaration of commitment and recognition of God's worthiness. The song emphasizes the attributes of God as 'altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful,' highlighting the overwhelming sense of awe that the worshipper feels. The reference to Jesus as the 'King of all days' who humbled himself by coming to Earth underscores the Christian belief in the incarnation and the ultimate sacrifice of Christ for humanity's salvation ('All for love's sake became poor').

Towards the end of the song, the lyrics reflect on the cost of redemption ('I'll never know how much it cost / To see my sin upon that cross'), a poignant reminder of the crucifixion and the depth of God's love. The invitation to 'Call upon the Name of the Lord and be saved' serves as both a call to action and a promise of salvation, reinforcing the song's message of hope and redemption. Overall, "Here I Am To Worship" is a powerful expression of faith, surrender, and the desire to be in the presence of the divine.
