"Here I Am To Worship" was written by Tim Hughes in 1999, with lyrics describing the humility of Jesus Christ as he came down from Heaven and sacrificed Himself for us. The song has since become a ubiquitously popular worship anthem, and was #1 on the Christian Copyright Licensing charts for two years in a row -- so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! I originally wrote this arrangement for solo cello to play for a funeral, but it will also be perfect for church services or any other occasion you need some soul-stirring worship music. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
