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
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I see the King of Glory, coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes ....
I see His love and mercy, washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosan - na, Hosan - na, Hosanna in the highest
Hosan - na, Hosan - na, Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation, rising up to take their place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a near revival, stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean,
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see, so clearly
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away,
Are washed away
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise,
Than when we'd first begun
Words by John Newton; music by Todd Agnew, Chris Collins, Edwin O. Excell. Original key Dm.
Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again
Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy;
Lord, have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy;
Lord, have mercy on me
I have built an altar where I worship things of man
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You
But now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions; help me love You again
I have longed to know You and all Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
So I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining like a beacon in the night
