I was looking for the chords to a hymn and stumbled upon this song. The title caught my attention when I saw it in the google search list, so I clicked on the lyrics first, as I see it as an absolute MUST to look at words of songs before I listen to melody. The song isn't worth getting a catchy tune stuck in my head if the words don't glorify the Lord & line up with The Word.
This song expresses exactly why we should (and do) praise the Almighty, Living, One True God
Take a look:
Verse 1: He came to live, live a perfect life.
He came to be the Living Word, our Light.
He came to die so we'd be reconciled.
He came to rise to show His power and might
Chorus: That's why we praise Him, that's why we sing.
That's why we offer Him our everything.
That's why we bow down and worship the King
'Cause He gave His everything
'Cause He gave His everything.
Verse 2: He came to live, live again in us.
He came to be our conquering King and Friend.
He came to heal and show the lost ones His love
He came to go prepare a place for us
Chorus: That's why we praise Him, that's why we sing.
That's why we offer Him our everything.
That's why we bow down and worship the King
'Cause He gave His everything
'Cause He gave His everything.
Bridge: Halle, Hallelujah
The tune itself sounds a little on the "old" side, but the words are enough to sing it anyway.
To God be the glory!
