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.

So here I am to worship;
Here I am to bow down;
Here I am to say that
You're my God.
And 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.

So here I am to worship;
Here I am to bow down;
Here I am to say that
You're my God.
And 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.
And 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.
Upon that cross.
Upon that cross.

So here I am to worship;
Here I am to bow down;
Here I am to say that
You're my God.
And 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.
And 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.
And 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.
And You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
