Terry MacAlmon - I Came to Worship You Lyrics

“I Came to Worship You” centers on a simple declaration of devotion. Each line names a purpose for approaching God: worship, praise, love, and the honoring of his holy name. The repeated hallelujah gives the song the character of a congregational response, while the closing confession, “You are my Lord,” makes its focus personal without shifting away from reverence. Its brevity supports a meditative form of worship in which a few clear truths are repeated rather than expanded into a long narrative.

The lyric closely reflects the call to worship God and bless his name found throughout the Psalms. Psalm 95:6 is especially relevant because it joins worship with humble acknowledgment of the Lord as Maker. Psalm 113:1-3 also matches the song’s emphasis on praising the Lord’s name. Together, these connections place the repeated phrases within a biblical pattern of adoration: God is addressed as Lord, his name is lifted high, and praise becomes the central action.
