The Heart of Worship

I love worship. It draws me to that place where I can just come before the Father and say, "here I am, in all my imperfection, bowing before you".

I haven't had a real worship experience in a while. But today at church, I had a moment where I forgot where I was and just let myself be before the throne. I was on worship team and usually I'm a bit careful about getting to wrapped up in my own worship time. The purpose of the team is to draw the congregation to the throne room, so sometimes you need to be sensitive to what is happening in the pews rather than what is happening in your own heart.

We were singing "Hosanna", which has been recorded by a number of groups, but most recognizable by Hillsong or Starfield, and I almost forgot where I was. I was so drawn in to what the words of the song were saying and I could picture myself falling down at the Father's feet and just worshipping. When I realized that Debbie was going back to the chorus, it brought me back, but for a moment, it was just me and my Father. Wow. I love that.

Here are the words for you. It's a pretty powerful song.

I see the King of Glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, The whole earth shakes

I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, The people sing

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith, Selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and sing
We're on our knees, On our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
