Here I am, I've come to find You
Here I am, to see Your grace
To bring to You an offering, I have to ask myself one thing
How can I do anything but praise, I praise

I want my life to praise You

You are all I'm living for
You are King of everything
I want my life to praise You

Meaning & Inspiration
“You, You Are God” by Gateway Worship is a praise song about coming to God with thanks and an offering. The verses say the singer has come to find Him, to see His grace, and to thank Him for a changed life, then ask, “How can I do anything but praise?” The second verse names the reason: He gave His life, and the lyric ties the cross to the singer’s changed life.
The chorus is a series of short statements: “You are God, You are Lord, You are all I’m living for, You are King of everything.” It ends with a plain desire, “I want my life to praise You.” The repetition near the end keeps the focus on that one wish.
The song is close to Romans 12:1 on offering oneself to God, Psalm 95:6-7 on coming to worship, and 1 Corinthians 15:3 on Christ dying for sin. It is a direct congregational song of thanks.
