Adore Him
 

It is by grace that we are saved
Through faith and not by works
For it is through Jesus that we have life
To live is a blessing, to live is Christ

Come, let us, Adore Him
Come, let us, Adore Him

So we’ve been raised with Jesus Christ
Let’s set our hearts on things above
That we may be filled with the fullness of God
And walk in the freedom He’s given us

To our God, to our Father
Be the glory, forever and ever

The song story
 

Adore Him has been recorded twice, first live on the Vineyard Records UK release 'My Soul Yearns', and then again on 'The Fire'.

Adore Him is the only song that I’d recorded before, having been on the live ‘My Soul Yearns’ CD released by Vineyard Records in 2011. I loved that recording, especially the piano that Mark Edwards played but we just felt it could do with some studio treatment. It was great to get my sister in to sing backing vocals; you could take my vocal totally out of the mix and her voice would still carry it on it’s own. Bobby added some nice layered guitars and some of his signature strange noises. And we kept some piano in there played by bass player Jonathan Ahrens. 

The chorus came out of a worship time at one of our evening ‘Burn’ services. Which is where the songs for the Beautiful and All From You albums came from. So I began to build the song up around that simple line. The first verse is taken primarily from Ephesians 2v8-9 and there’s a bit of Phillipians 1v21 in there too. The second verse starts in Collosians 3v1-2 and moves through to the bridge into Ephesians 3v20-21. The verses talk to us as the church, reminding us of what God has done, encouraging us to grab hold of the freedom God has given us with both hands, the chorus urges to sing ‘Come, let us, adore him’. And then the bridge responds and moves us into that act of adoration, of giving God glory, of worshipping Him.
