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.
