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.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song back in 2004, in a season of my life when I was grieving a loss and desiring Him to be truly "everything to me". The chorus came as it is, as I was sitting at the piano and crying before the Lord. I wanted to be so captivated, that He would be "all my eyes can see", and that eventually inspired the verses, as i personally began to see Jesus again. His nail-pierced hands, His loving gaze... the sacrifice He made which ultimately demands my all. And I know the song will continue to reflect my journey with Him, even now, with every new step of surrender He requests.
Lyrics
Verse 1 I see the nails embedded in Your hand I see the feet that were pierced for me I see the sides that were bleeding at Calvary It’s no wonder then, my heart sings for Thee Chorus Cos You’re everything to me You’re all my eyes can see So I let go of all that steals my heart And take hold of Your hand in mine Verse 2 I see Your eyes, consuming fire in Your gaze I see the stripes You bore that I might be whole I see the throne You left to come and die for me It’s no wonder then, my heart sings for Thee
