I Used To Worship

I used to worship, Because I was told to, Because I was told You were God, Because I was told that was what good children did, So I did, Though I didn't understand what it meant. I used to worship, Because that was what Sunday's were for, 6 days to be as crazy as I wanted, And 1 to go repent, Give out offering and tell how your week has been. I used to worship, Because I was afraid of hell, I was scared of my fate once I was one with death, I didn't want to burn for eternity, I didn't want to be a slave to cruel tyranny, I wanted to have a happy ending, You know... Streets of gold and all they say is up there? Yeah... But now, now I worship, Now I worship from the depths of my heart. Now I worship because I want, Now I worship because You have shown me the design of love, You have taken me from where I was left for dead, And gave me life in abundance. I can't tell it all, Not with words deeds or thought, All I know is I worship because I want, From the corners of my soul.
