| “Made to Worship” sung by Chris Tomlin Lyrics: Made To Worship Before the day Before the light Before the world revolved around the sun God on high Stepped down into time And wrote the story of His love for everyone He has filled our hearts with wonder So that we always remember You and I were made to worship You and I are called to love You and I are forgiven and free You and I embrace surrender You and I choose to believe You and I will see who we were meant to be All we are And all we have Is all a gift from God that we receive Brought to life We open up our eyes To see the majesty and glory of the King He has filled our hearts with wonder So that we always remember You and I were made to worship You and I are called to love You and I are forgiven and free You and I embrace surrender You and I choose to believe You and I will see who we were meant to be And even the rocks cry out And even the Heavens shout At the sound of His holy name So let every voice sing out And let every knee bow down He is worthy of all our praise You and I were made to worship You and I are called to love You and I are forgiven and free, yeah You and I embrace surrender You and I choose to believe You and I will see, you and I will see You and I were made to worship You and I are called to love You and I are forgiven and free, yeah You and I embrace surrender You and I choose to believe You and I will see who we were meant to be | |
