Here I Am to Worship is a beloved contemporary worship classic written and performed by British worship leader Tim Hughes, first released as the title track of his 2001 debut album. Written from a deep engagement with Scripture (especially Philippians 2), the song expresses heartfelt gratitude, reverence, and surrender to Jesus’ humility and sacrifice, themes that have resonated deeply with worshippers worldwide for decades.
Musically, it’s a gentle yet profound ballad built around simple chords and a melody that invites listeners into corporate or personal worship. The chorus “Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that You’re my God…” serves as both a declaration of surrender and a communal invitation, making it a staple in church services, youth gatherings, and worship conferences.
