learning to worship
i have to confess
i made a mess, i messed it all up
all Your intentions and ways
You made me to worship, You made me to praise
and worship i do, but not unto You
i adore myself, i love myself, i lift up my own banner of praise
i’ve got it all wrong, i’ve gone far too long
backwards and twisted, much have i twisted
what was intended for You and made about me
i said the words, i sang the tune
i read the lines, i closed my eyes
but i was at odds with another
i didn’t do it for You
i know what i do has nothing to do with who You are
i know what i say doesn’t change the Truth You are
i know my lip service doesn’t make You more You
but i try to pretend like it’s all for You
i fell into the trap, the rhythm and routine
i thought i was for real
i thought i was genuine
i thought i could worship
i thought i often did
but now i wonder
if ever i did
did my tune, the words, the songs please You
or were they empty and meaningless
did i abuse Your mercy and grace
did i slap you in the face
did i so boldly claim to worship Your name, and have it all be done in such vain
i fall short
i fall down
i repent
i beg forgiveness
by You mercy and grace and the light of Your face
by You alone
Your grace and mercy
i seek to worship
i want to worship You
only You

so true, we are for to often concerned with this shell we live in called humanity, when really, what we cannot see, what we don’t fully understand, HE is the most important.

Very encouraging. So many times we are more concerned about what others think that we forget who we are supposed to be worshipping.
