Church of Praise is a Christ-centered, biblically grounded church, committed to sharing God’s love by bringing people into His family and membership in the church, discipling them to be like Christ and equipped for the mission of serving the community through their passionate worship to God. It is a church that also believes in the power of prayer; to have a deep desire to not just know about God, but to know God and to experience Him in their lives daily and personally. . 'You Are My God' is the Church of Praise’s Creative Arts Team second release following their debut album 'In Your Presence'. All 10 songs in this album are composed by their own church members. The songs reflect their heart and passion to celebrate God’s greatness and majesty. Songs like "Lord You Are Worthy" and "You Are My God" are congregational worship songs that will inspire you to adore the Almighty God. “Whom Have I in Heaven”, a popular song in the church, is a personal psalmist song suitable for daily devotions. The album also has songs with modern genres written by a younger generation of songwriters such as “Live For You”, “Everything To Me” and “I Couldn't Find Another Word”. Young people can easily relate to these songs. PROFILE OF SONG WRITERS Ricky Sim Married with a blessed wife, Wendy and two teenage sons Benjamin & Timothy.

Story behind the song
This was my first ever song that I wrote in 2002. Back then, our church was in revival but still, my song didn’t have a resemblance to what a revival had – namely being songs with fire, spirit, wholeness and joy. Strangely, the song came to my head one day when I woke up just before going to school while I was taking a bath. For me, the tune comes into the head along with the lyrics and the first four words that jumped right out was “I Live For You”. It stuck with me throughout the day as a song that could be sung absolutely anywhere, no matter the situation or the environment. Remembering this, I finished the song at the end of the day with the afterthought that no matter where I go, what I do, it will always be something worth living for in Him.
Lyrics
VERSE FATHER I COME TO YOUR THRONE I LAY DOWN MY LIFE I KNOW IT’S NOT MY OWN TO YOU I WILL DRAW NEAR FOR I KNOW YOU ARE THE MAKER AND ALL THAT I CAN SAY IS THAT I LIVE FOR YOU CHORUS I LIVE FOR YOU, I LIVE FOR YOU EVERY MOMENT I’M AWAKE EVERY BREATH THAT I TAKE (REPEAT) BRIDGE AND EVERYDAY I WALK WITH YOU I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE TO COME AND MAKE ME NEW CHORUS I LIVE FOR YOU, I LIVE FOR YOU EVERY MOMENT I’M AWAKE EVERY BREATH THAT I TAKE I LIVE FOR YOU, I LIVE FOR YOU EVERY MOMENT I’M AWAKE EVERY BREATH THAT I TAKE I LIVE FOR YOU
