I have always liked this one. The church I went to for a time, 21 years ago, used to sing this a lot. Hearing it now made me tear up. Even though I am an atheist, the need is ever present. Also, it reminded me of some pains from 21 years ago that have never fully healed. It is complicated.

Awwwww.......yes I know this one!! Beautiful. My dad’s favourite song is Come....Now Is The Time To Worship....I get tears in my eyes whenever I hear it. @JoyfulSilence
I have been listening to the one I posted just now....all day. I have found such peace today from it. I’m not normally into Hillsong, but this song just moves me. @JoyfulSilence

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I am glad you are moved.
I am not sure I want to surrender. That was always a big problem when I had considered becoming a Christian. How much of myself would I have to give up? I know they always say come as you are and all sins have already been forgiven, but they also say follow him. I am at odds with some things. Others I am OK with. Of course in my case it is more a question of the nature of reality, rather than ethics. I just do not think there is a God. I do think there are ethics, though, and Christian ethics. But I want to pick what I like and discard what I do not like. It has to be mine, not the church's, and not God's. That is the only thing that will work with me. I must be comfortable with it, not troubled.
Well, it is almost 4 AM here, I need to sleep.
Thanks for being kind to me.
