We Worship at Your Feet (Come and See)
Lyrics
come and see the King of love,
see the purple robe and crown of thorn he wears.
Soldiers mock, rulers sneer
as he lifts the cruel cross,
lone and friendless now he climbs towards the hill.
We worship at your feet where wrath and mercy meet
and a guilty world is washed by love’s pure stream.
For us he was made sin; O, help me take it in.
Deep wounds of love cry out, ‘Father forgive!’
I worship, I worship
the Lamb who was slain.
for your sin that pierced him there;
so much deeper than the wounds of thorn and nail.
All our pride, all our greed,
all our fallenness and shame:
and the Lord has laid the punishment on him.
to restore us to your heaven,
here we bow in awe beneath your searching eyes.
From your tears comes our joy,
from your death our life shall spring;
by your resurrection power we shall rise.

Matthew 28:5-7; John 20:26-28; Philippians 2:10-11; Revelation 5:12-13
About This Hymn
“We Worship at Your Feet (Come and See)” is a contemporary worship hymn by Graham Kendrick that centers on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the believer’s response of reverence and adoration. The hymn invites worshippers to reflect on the risen Lord and to draw near in humble worship, echoing the biblical call to behold the empty tomb and the living Savior.
The phrase “Come and see” recalls the angel’s invitation in Matthew 28:5-7, where the women are invited to witness that Christ is risen. This moment is foundational to the Christian faith, affirming that Jesus has conquered death. The hymn builds on this truth, leading believers from the historical reality of the resurrection to a personal response of worship.
John 20:26-28 records the confession of Thomas, who, upon seeing the risen Christ, declares, “My Lord and my God” (KJV). The hymn reflects this posture of awe and surrender, emphasizing that true worship flows from encountering the living Christ. To worship at His feet is to acknowledge His divine authority and saving power.
Philippians 2:10-11 teaches that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The hymn echoes this universal call to worship, presenting Christ as the exalted King who is worthy of all honor. Yet the tone remains intimate, focusing on the personal act of coming before Him in humility and devotion.
Revelation 5:12-13 provides a vision of heavenly worship, where Christ, the Lamb, receives blessing, honor, glory, and power. Kendrick’s hymn connects earthly worship with this eternal reality, reminding believers that when they gather to worship, they join in the praise that resounds in heaven.
“We Worship at Your Feet” is both an invitation and a response. It calls believers to behold the risen Christ and to respond with heartfelt adoration. Through its resurrection focus and scriptural foundation, the hymn encourages the church to worship with reverence, joy, and a renewed awareness of the living Savior who is worthy of all praise.
