Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:

We have come into His house
And gathered in His name to worship Him
We have come into His house
And gathered in His name to worship Him
We have come into His house
And gathered in His name to worship Christ the Lord.
Worship Him, Christ, the Lord.

So forget about yourself
And concentrate on Him and worship Him
So forget about yourself
And concentrate on Him and worship Him
So forget about yourself And concentrate on Him
and worship Christ the Lord.
Worship Him, Christ, the Lord.

Let us lift up holy hands
And magnify His name and worship Him
Let us lift up holy hands
And magnify His name and worship Him
Let us lift up holy hands
And magnify His name and worship Christ the Lord.
Worship Him, Christ, the Lord.

He is all my righteousness,
I stand complete in Him and worship Him,
He is all my righteousness,
I stand complete in Him and worship Him,
He is all my righteousness,
I stand complete in Him and worship Christ the Lord.
Worship Him, Christ, the Lord.

He’s forgiven all my sins,
there’s nothing I can do but worship Him,
He’s forgiven all my sins,
there’s nothing I can do but worship Him,
He’s forgiven all my sins,
there’s nothing I can do but worship Christ the Lord.
Worship Him, Christ, the Lord.
