Lyrics
Verse 1
Lord, I long to bring an offering
But I don’t know where to start
All I have is on the table
I won’t hold back a single part
Verse 2
Sometimes I cannot find the language
Sometimes I’m at a loss for words
I just want to give You something
To let You know that You’re still first
Chorus
I worship You
I worship You
You’re the one I love
You’re the one I choose
I worship You
Verse 3
Life is full of many seasons
I’ve felt the shadow and the sun
Through the feast and through the famine
This is my song in every one
Bridge
If all You ever wanted was my heart
Here it is, here it is
I lay it all on the altar
If all You ever wanted was my heart
Here it is, here it is
I lay it all on the altar

Meaning & Inspiration
Here It Is (I Worship You) is a worship song about offering God a whole life when words run short. The opening verse admits not knowing where to start, yet says all the singer has is on the table and nothing will be held back. The second verse describes moments with no language, only a wish to give something that shows God is still first.
The chorus keeps the response simple, repeating "I worship You" and naming God as the one loved and chosen. The third verse looks back on shadow and sun, through feast and famine, and says the song stays the same in each.
The closing refrain, "If all You ever wanted was my heart," answers with "Here it is" and describes laying everything on the altar. That image echoes Romans 12:1, where believers are urged to present themselves as a living sacrifice, and Psalm 51:17, which speaks of a broken and contrite heart. Both links are cautious interpretations of the wording.
