can't stop humming

An amazing gospel song, this was the opening hymn at Joel Osteen's service on May 5th, I guess this was not the first time I heard it, as I was comfortable singing it, but somehow was totally bowled over with the Lakewood Church's Choir version. Have been trying to recollect some words of the hymn so that I could look it up and somehow managed to do so over the weekend, another nice version

Here go the lyrics,

Light of the world, you step down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you hope of a life spent with you

[Chorus]
And here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above
Humbly you came to the earth you created
All for love's sake became poor

I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross
No I'll never know how much it cost to se my sin upon that cross

So Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
