[ story behind the song ]

Hebrews 12:22 tells us that in Christ we ‘have come’ (present tense) into an awesome heavenly company of worshippers gathered before the throne of God.

Drawing inspiration from liturgical tradition, this song is designed to help us to approach God reverently and thoughtfully and with anticipation of the day when all things in creation will unite with heaven’s worship.

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the Living God> You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly. Hebrews 12:22

[ lyrics ]

The Lord is present here x 3
Come worship
The Lord is present here x 3
Come worship
Brought near by Jesus’ blood x 3
We worship
With angels round your throne x 3
We worship

We offer up our lives
A living sacrifice
Pouring out our gifts
Of thanks and praise
This is your holy hill
You call us higher still
Joining with all heaven
To acclaim

Holy Holy Holy Lord
God of power and might
Heaven and earth are full
Of your glory

Let all the nations come x 3
And worship
Let all creation bow x 3
In worship
