I Humbly Bow
One of a handful of songs where I just walk up to the piano and the initial ideas start to flow. There is always plenty of polishing involved and although I started writing this in 1997, it was not finished until two years later.
This song has been very effective in worship with a strong theme of adoration. Congregations pick up on the easy melody very quickly.

I humbly bow before the King of kings
In reverance and awe, I worship at your feet
For you alone are worthy of all that I could give
And I delight in you
Yes, I delight in youI fall before Jesus, my Lord
Just to have you near is my greatest reward
The most precious of all treasures
I hold you in my heart
And I delight in you
Yes, I delight in youJesus, Jesus, Jesus
I delight in youYou’re the God of all creation
Yet you live here in my heart
And I delight in you
Yes, I delight in you
