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.'

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.
