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.

Chorus:
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.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: (X 3)
I'll never know, how much it costs
To see my sin,  upon that cross

Communion 
96 A voice cries out
http://www.mycatholicvoice.com/media/flwlxA

1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now,

Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a high-way for God!

2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain,
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed,
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)

3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry?
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 2)
4. Zion, shout from the mountain top,
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 1)
5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young. (refrain)

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.
Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!
