The Object of Worship - Psalm 96: 7-9

We all have the capacity to worship
having been created for that noble matter
but we're so full of self-loving ourselves
telling everyone we know so full of chatter

God has designed us to worship Him
and only Him alone for He is God alone
the atheist has removed God from their mind
thinking they're well proud they're prone

For in worshipping nothing they value nothing
life is meaningless so being unsatisfied
so in denying God they worship themselves
proving nothing but in God who they denied

God calls His own to worship
to bow before His great holy name
recognising the God of very God
who is the almighty as is His claim

All correct worship has only one aim
the great sovereign God claims His due
that all mankind worship God alone
scriptures show this be fully true

(Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering, and come into his courts!
 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
    tremble before him, all the earth!)

Psalm 96: 7-9 (esv)
