WE ARE HERE TO PRAISE YOU
Lift our hearts and sing.
We are here to give You
The best that we can bring.
And it is our love
Rising from our hearts,
Everything within us cries:
‘Abba Father.’
Help us now to give You
Pleasure and delight,
Heart and mind and will that say:
‘I love You Lord.’
Graham Kendrick
