Some of you witnessed a travesty on Sunday, I tried to sing The Heart of Worship after my sermon. I botched it, forgot some important words, ran out of breath and got caught up in the emotion of it. I think the message got across though. It's about worship from the heart.
When the music fades and all is stripped away and I simply come
longing just to bring something that's of worth that will bless your heart
I'll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You require
You search much deeper within from the way things appear, You're looking into my heart.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship, It's all about You, it's all about you, Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it when it's all about You, It's all about you, Jesus.
The heart of worship is surrender!
“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?” Romans 12:1 (NLT)
In today’s competitive culture we are taught to never give up and never give in—so we don’t hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering is unthinkable. We would rather talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming, and conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying, and surrendering. But surrendering to God is the heart of worship.
As Joshua approached the biggest battle of his life, he encountered God, fell in worship before him, and surrendered his plans. That surrender led to a stunning victory at Jericho. This is the paradox: Victory comes through surrender.
Nothing is more powerful than a surrendered life in the hands of God. “So give yourselves completely to God.”
More than a song, your heart.
Peace ><>
