Where True Worship Lies

WHERE TRUE WORSHIP LIES Listen carefully incline thine ear, For those with inner ears to hear, It is not a saying deep or dark, But even the simple can embark, A Word to both the aged, and youth, True worship is in Spirit, and in Truth. True worship, is not to be confused, With faithful warmers of the pews. Fellowship with the brethren is good and right, Right living in God’s unfailing sight. Not in whose service is left right at the door, though he is rich in giving; his spirit is poor. Not the one praying skillfully, bold and loud, Nor the one whose self boasting, arrogant and proud. But the man within, although unseen, A man of conscience and conviction, living clean. He has a gentle heart of love, by which his faith is fueled, And by God’s Holy Word his spirit ruled. His work is not for praise, recognition or advance, His gifts only known by given chance. This worshipper’s life, often judged and despised, He wishes he were loved as much as criticized. Not at all complicated, a simple woman, simple man, Hard to figure to the world, they just don’t understand. Suffers in quiet unknowingly, amongst his friends, He’s the last to even ask, for a hand to lend. He looks to God to raise him up, from being low to the ground, Seeks daily to only hear the appointed trumpet sound. Seeks not his own, always bearing his own shame, But boldly proclaims the rugged cross, in God’s Holy name. True worship lies herewith, in the heart and soul within, God seeks such hearts of true wordhippers to worship Him. Where true worship lies, is in Spirit and Truth, The love of God is the true worshipper’s living proof. John 4:23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
