Coming up with a song - finally!

After hearing so many good songs of worship dedicated to praising God for His presence and power, I thought, maybe it's time for me to compose a song for Him as well. And what better way than to do it on the guitar as well!

Actually, I have been struggling with coming up with something called a "song" for quite some time, when the inspiration just came up from nowhere in the middle of the night. The next day I immediately penned down the song and got my guitar going, without even allowing some time for myself to brush up(eew, that's gonna stink).

It's been written down already for quite some time, but I just thought I wanna share the song with you people:

Title: What a blessing it is to be with You
By: me
*Chords and rhythm are to be released later, when feedback is received about the lyrics

This day I proclaim that You are King
You are Lord and Saviour of my life
You alone are worthy of my praise
Because You are the truth, the life, the way
Who can ever match your lovingkindness
Your grace, Your love and Your peace?
The cross before me, the world behind me
You are the One I long to worship all my life

Chorus:
Oh what a blessing it is to be with You
In all my fears and worries, I turn to You
Jesus, the foundation on whom I stand
I commit my life into your hands

By the way, I usually never write songs and this is my first, so if the lyrics don't sound right, please offer some suggestions. Thanks, people!
