the passion of one heart
the surrender of one life is all i have to bring
there is no special time
there is no special place, my song of love to sing
in my every conversation
and my every meditation, Lord be glorified
and may everything i do
be a sacrifice to you that's pleasing in your sight
the beating of my heart
is all my spirit needed to make music in my youth
but what am i to do
that my life would sing to you in spirit and in truth?
day by day and hour by hour
i seek to serve you selflessly, my Lord
step by step and breath by breath
i sing this lifesong freely for you, Lord
Jesus' only words in scripture dealing directly with worship, remind us that truth needs to be an integral part of the offerings we offer the Divine. the truth of God is found in God’s word, the bible, and without it our offerings of praise and service are translucent at best.
scripture establishes who God is and why God alone is worthy of our worship. the truth qualifies our worship by aligning our practice with his person… and if life is worship, then the foundation of that worship must needs be the word of God if it is to be all that God desires for it to be. (Psalm 119.105)
If we are to worship in truth
then the Bible must be the centerpiece of our worship experience.
(Sammy Tippit)
when our lifesong is in direct response to the truth as presented in scripture, contextualized in life and relationship, that life is the realization of God’s greatest purpose for it…
that this life would be lived to the glory of God and the restoration of God’s shalom in the small, seemingly insignificant moments which are the foundational building blocks of God’s kingdom coming…
