lyrics
We are here to praise
You
Lift our hearts and sing
We are here to give You
The best that we can bring
Lift our hearts and sing
We are here to give You
The best that we can bring
And it is our love
Rising from our hearts
Everything within us cries
I love You Lord
Rising from our hearts
Everything within us cries
I love You Lord
We are here to praise
You
Lift our hearts and sing
We are here to give You
The best that we can bring
Lift our hearts and sing
We are here to give You
The best that we can bring
And it is our love
Rising from our hearts
Everything within us cries
I love You Lord
Rising from our hearts
Everything within us cries
I love You Lord
Help us now to give
You
Pleasure and delight
Heart and mind and will that say
'I love You Lord.'
Pleasure and delight
Heart and mind and will that say
'I love You Lord.'
Graham Kendrick (born on 2 August 1950, Blisworth, Northamptonshire) is a
prolific British Christian singer-songwriter and worship leader. He is the son
of a Baptist pastor. He now lives in Croydon and is a former member of Ichthus
Christian Fellowship. Together with Roger Forster, Gerald Coates and Lynne
Green, he was a founder of March for Jesus.
Kendrick began his songwriting career in the late sixties. His
most enduring accomplishment is his authorship of the words and music for the
song, "Shine, Jesus, Shine", which is among the most widely heard
songs in contemporary Christian worship worldwide. His other songs have been
primarily used by worshippers in Britain. Kendrick is a co-founder of the March
for Jesus. He received a Dove Award in 1995 for his international work. In
2000, Brunel University awarded Kendrick an honorary doctorate in Divinity
('DD') in "recognition of his contribution to the worship life of the
Church". He was awarded another DD in May 2008, from Wycliffe College in
Toronto, Canada.
Although now best known as a worship leader and writer of
worship songs, Graham Kendrick began his career as a member of the Christian beat
group, Whispers of Truth. Later, he began working as a solo concert performer
and recording artist in the singer/songwriter tradition. He was closely
associated with the organisation, Musical Gospel Outreach, and recorded several
albums for their record labels. On the first, Footsteps on the Sea,
released in 1972, he worked with the virtuoso guitarist Gordon Giltrap.
Kendrick worked for a time as a member of "In the Name of
Jesus," the ground-breaking mission team led by the Rev. Clive Calver.
Calver went on to run British Youth for Christ and the Evangelical Alliance,
and then left the United Kingdom for the Evangelical Church in the United
States Kendrick, however, has remained firmly fixed in the UK church, as
probably the most influential Christian songwriter of his generation.
