This song is one of my favorite songs written by Joy Russell. Amazingly simple, just a few chords and words, yet the words and melody bring you into the heart of worship.
There are times in worship where the praising stops and the worship begins. "Lord I Come" is one of those songs. As I think about the times I have sung this song, I can't help but think of how solemn and reflective the mood begins and yet how powerful it ends up.
I the simplicity of this song allows us to reflect on who we are and who God is. As we humbly fall before Him, we declare Him as Lord of all. He is the reason we can be saved. He is the only One worthy of our worship.
It is an awesome thought to think that we can come before the throne of God and worship Him. He saved us from our sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus, setting us free to live the life He created us to live. May we not forget His sacrifice and His work in our lives.

Lord, I come before Your throne
Bowing down to You alone
Offering this song of praise
To the Lamb of God who was slain
Jesus, how could I forget
How You saved me from my sin
Your sacrifice upon the tree
Gives me life and sets me free
Lord, let Your glory rise
Lord, let Your Spirit fall on us
Lord, let Your fire burn
In all our hearts and minds
