Story Behind The Song
I find that life and the culture often sends us messages that God isn't real, or God doesn't care, or that there is no Truth or that God isn't who the Bible says He is. I wanted to write this song as a congregational way to sing affirmations of God, who He is and what He's done in the face of the lies.
Song Description
Contemporary praise and worship song with 6/8 feel similar to the Goo Goo Doll's song "Iris". The lyrics affirm the supremacy of Christ and the choice to worship Him and acknowledge the truth about Him.

Lyrics
1. In a world full of darkness, we call You the Light
Where they say there is no truth, we say You are right
In a Godless land, You?re the Great I Am who was and always shall be
In a world of rebellion, we call You our King
Where they glory in evil, to Your ways we cling
In this sinful place, we proclaim Your grace and we thank You for setting us free
CHORUS: We worship You, Lord, You?re the One we adore
And we sing of Your infinite worth
Unto You Mighty King, all the honor we bring
You?re exalted in heaven and earth
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You (repeat)
2. For Your awesome creation, we give You the praise
To the mountains and heavens we lift up our gaze
With a Godly fear, we will all revere our Lord Jesus, the Maker of all
For the gift of salvation, our thanks we will bring
For your mercy and kindness, we?ll dance and we?ll sing
For the love we feel, we will come and kneel at the feet of our Savior we?ll fall
Bridge: la da da da da...
CHORUS: We worship You, Lord, You?re the One we adore
And we sing of Your infinite worth
Unto You Mighty King, all the honor we bring
You?re exalted in heaven and earth
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You
Honor and glory and blessing belong
Honor and glory and blessing belong
Honor and glory and blessing belong to You (vamp on)
