Oh, God

God, how can I honor You?

                                In worship, praise, in spirit true?

                                 It cannot be; can't be contained

                                 Worship honor, can't be feigned 

                                For You, the searcher of each heart

                                   Can tell the true, or false apart

                                   How can I honor You; Oh God?

                                With more than just a passing nod

                               In buildings that are made by hands

                                 Beneath the sky on earthen lands

                                   For You, in every single place, 
  
                                 You shine, in inner; Outer space

                                     May I ever seek Your face

                                       To worship You, Oh God

                               Draw me closer, footstep, each I trod

                                   For I see you in the brilliant skies

                                   Your Father's song, in lullabies

                                                I see You 

                                            In the universe

                                           I hear Your voice

                                         Scripture and verse

                                    I'll lift my prayerful gratitude

                                   Not just a word, nor platitude

                                           To You, my God

                                          You are my God

                                                In awe
                        
                                               Beseech;
                                           
                                           Forgive my flaw

                                        To fail to honor You

                                       In worship, praise in

                                             Honor true

                                             
                                               Oh God,

                                     I long for You each day  

                                         But, You are here, 

                                         You hear us pray   

                                          With my heart 
                               
                                      My breath, my song

                                        Join with praise

                                            Eternal long

                                         I lift my prayer,

                                           Your Majesty,

                                         I long to honor,

                                          Worship Thee
