Lyrics

[Verse 1] Watching the sun—creep up into view— Watching Your creation—big and small, Mountains and trees—big and tall. Tracing the lines in my face and hands— Wondering how even You could have made it all— These oh Lord—are some of the things I love to do—but most of all—standing in awe—I love to bring—my worship—to you. [Chorus] Lord—I bring my worship—my hands I raise— Lord—I bring my honor—on bended knees— Lord Jesus—for all time—You are worthy—of all honor, glory and praise! Lord—not just for what you do— Lord—not just for what you promise and provide— But You oh Lord are most worthy—and in You I can hide—and You’re never far— Ohhhh—but right now—I worship you Jesus—for who You are! [Verse 2] Throughout the day and night—in good times—or full of strife— Throughout all my life— Your goodness and mercy have covered me each and every day— Ohhhh—you’ve been there—all along my way! No matter if I stray— Or when I try so hard—to walk in Your way— Your love has never known faltered or toward me—been bound— So I stop right now—and thank You— That once so very lost—-oh my Jesus— Now I am found! [Chorus] Lord—I bring my worship—my hands I raise— Lord—I bring my honor—on bended knees— Lord Jesus—for all time—You are worthy—of all honor, glory and praise! Lord—not just for what you do— Lord—not just for what you promise and provide— But You oh Lord are most worthy—and in You I can hide—and You’re never far— Ohhhh—but right now—I worship you Jesus—for who You are! [Bridge] I bring worship— I bring—my praise. Ohhhh—to You Jesus—my hands—I raise To lift and glorify thy name— You bore the weight—paid for my sin and shame— So right now Jesus—I bow to bless and proclaim— The name of Jesus— Oh bless—thy holy name! [Slow A cappella Chorus] Lord—I bring my worship—my hands I raise— Lord—I bring my honor—on bended knees— Lord Jesus—for all time—You are worthy—of all honor, glory and praise! [Music Resumes To End] Lord—not just for what you do— Lord—not just for what you promise and provide— But You oh Lord are most worthy—and in You I can hide—and You’re never far— Ohhhh—but right now—I worship you Jesus—for who You are!

I Bring My Worship

Read together: Psalm 8; Psalm 139:13–16; Revelation 4:8–11; John 4:23–24; Psalm 29:1–2

When was the last time you watched the sun rise? Not glanced at it through a window, but really watched it—the light creeping over the horizon, the colors changing, the world waking up. This song begins there, in quiet wonder at creation: mountains, trees, the big and the small. Then it turns to something closer—tracing the lines in my face and hands, wondering how even You could have made it all.

Read Psalm 8. David looked at the night sky and asked, "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him?" Creation humbles us. It reminds us how small we are—and how astonishing it is that God cares about us at all.

Read Psalm 139:13–16. "You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." The lines on your hands and the features of your face are not accidents. They are the work of a careful Creator. Even the aging lines in a face can become a reason to praise the God who has kept you through the years.

But the chorus moves beyond creation to something even more important. Not just for what You do, not just for what You promise and provide—but right now I worship You, Jesus, for who You are.

That is a crucial distinction. Much of our praise is gratitude for what God gives: answered prayers, provision, protection. That is good and right. But worship at its deepest level is a response to who God is, regardless of what He gives. Read Revelation 4:8–11. Around God's throne, the living creatures never stop saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come." The elders fall down and cast their crowns before Him, saying, "Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things." Heaven's worship is not a transaction. It is awe.

Read Psalm 29:1–2. "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness." Worship gives God what is due Him—not because He needs it, but because He deserves it.

The second verse adds one more reason for worship: grace. Your goodness and mercy have covered me each and every day… No matter if I stray… once so very lost—oh my Jesus—now I am found! And the bridge goes to the cross: You bore the weight, paid for my sin and shame. Worship for who God is includes worship for who He has shown Himself to be in Jesus—the Creator who became our Redeemer.

Read John 4:23–24. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that the Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Worship is not limited to a building or a style of music. It can happen on bended knee in a sanctuary or on a back porch at sunrise. What matters is a heart that knows the truth about God and responds to Him sincerely.

If you have never worshiped God because you have never known Him, start by asking Him to show you who He is. Look at creation. Look at the cross. And come to the Savior who bore your sin.

A moment to respond: Tomorrow, try to watch the sunrise—or simply step outside for five minutes. Don't ask God for anything. Just tell Him who He is: Creator, Holy, Faithful, Savior. Then read Revelation 4:11 aloud as your worship.

Let's pray: Lord, we stand in awe of Your creation—from the mountains to the lines on our hands. Thank You for Your goodness and mercy every day of our lives. Thank You, Jesus, for bearing our sin and shame. Right now, we don't come asking. We come to worship You for who You are. You alone are worthy of all honor, glory, and praise. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that you would learn to worship Jesus not only for what He gives, but for who He is.
