What Is Worship
What IS worship?
You may not know
if your bored, stare into the air,
recite without insight,
sing without glee,
do not know if you’re free…
What is worship?
It’s a kinship
between you
and the King.
It is looking up…
It is falling to your knees…
Do you hate the thought
of being humbled?
I hate the thought of pride…
God sees us in our lowly stance
and picks us up to take us
on the greatest ride.
The chariot flies.
My eyes are closed…
My eyes are open…
I am breathless at the glory…
How can I NOT praise Christ!
What one of you would humiliate yourself…
What one of you would give IT ALL UP…
What one of you would allow the extreme…
What one of you would suffer, be betrayed,
have all your friends run away, be slapped
and whipped and not cry out for heaven’s help…
…to the death, bleed out
…even then be mocked
…betrayed by YOUR creation
Why worship…why NOT?
Worship is NOT
berating
hating
yawning
but elating…
Mercy and grace
likewise not pondered
and then you wonder
at His justice…
what about ours?
As for me and my house
we will gladly leap and holler,
sing, raise hands with wonder…
gloriously wonder at the God
who loves this needle in a haystack,
who lets me feel the fullness
of my soul…his salvation
makes me whole.
