The Heart Of Worship

When the music fades, and all is stripped away And I simply come.

Longing just to bring something thats of worth. That will bless your heart.

I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself Is not what You have required.

You search much deeper within, through the way things appear.

You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship.

And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it

It's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

King of endless worth, no one could express how much You deserve.

Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours. Every single breath.

I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required.

You search much deeper within, through the way things appear.

You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship.

And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it.

It's all about You, it's all about You Jesus.

This song is quite possibly one of my favorite songs ever written. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes. I love it because it really is all about God. I know that I try to make it about me and my personal needs, but it is really all about God. There is no denying it. I remember at church once, I was at worship team rehearsal and we were supposed to sing this song and it was suggested that I sing the first verse as a solo. I started to sing, and as soon as I got to "I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required." I broke down. I couldn't even get through the rest of the song. Two days before that Sunday, a person who I thought was a good friend of mine believed some rumors and basically called me out and called me a horrible friend. I was really upset about it the whole weekend. But when I started to sing this song, I realized not once did I ever think of Jesus. Not once did I sit down and give it all to Jesus. I put my personal life and my issues in front of God. And this song made me realize that that should never ever happen. There is nothing God can't do. I also realized that I was focusing all my energy on something that wasn't worth it. I could have been glorifying God in the time that I was crying and being angry at this one person. 

Another one of my favorite songs is 'Hungry' and my favorite line out of it is "I'm falling on my knees offering all of me. Jesus you're all this heart is living for." It is such a beautiful chorus and we sang it at church this Sunday. I am a broken person. I mess up, I spend all my time and energy on things that I shouldn't, I don't focus on the important things, and I try to handle everything on my own. That is the big one I need to work on. God can handle my problems better than I can. Yet I still try to do everything on my own This weekend I went through some pretty tough conversations that left me sad and angry and crying my eyes out. I have been sad all day, but I need to stop focusing on the negative, give my problems to God, and start focusing on how I am going to live my life to glorify and honor God.

Well, that is my rant for the day. So I leave you with two pictures that help me remember how awesome He is. And the bible verse that is on my class ring, the one that got me through some of the worst times of my life.

"In nothing by anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Finally brtheren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever thing are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things." - Philippians 4; 6-8
