Glorious Worship!

Glorious Worship!

What a time of glorious worship this morning! God met with me and His presence was awesome. Like most of you, I do not enjoy exercise, but on the advice of my doctor, I began exercising regularly about 3 1/2 years ago. Exercise and the discipline to keep at it are hard work, but I have found that by using this time to also discipline my spiritual body, the time goes by rather quickly. I regularly do two things during this time, watch Beth Moore DVDs and listen to praise and worship music. This morning was a morning of praise and worship music and I ended with a song of dedication. As you read through the lyrics, think of the melody in the background. My responses to those lyrics as I poured out my heart to God are in red.

"I Give You My Heart" (Written by Reuben Morgan)

This is my desire to honor your (This IS my desire Lord, to honor You, to live for You, to please You with my whole life)
Lord, with all my heart I worship you (Lord, I don’t want to just honor and worship You with my lips, but with my whole heart, mind, soul and strength)
All I have within me I give You praise (With everything that I am, because of who You are and what You have done for me)
All that I adore is in You (I adore You Father, I adore You Jesus, I adore You Spirit)

Chorus:
Lord, I give you my heart (So yes, Lord, take my heart, I willingly give it to You)
I give you my soul (Capture my soul and make it Yours)
I live for you alone, (Because, first and foremost I am a follower of Christ...every other role I have pales in comparison to that which You have called me to be, make me worthy of the calling I have received)
Every breath that I take (May it be for Your honor, glory and purposes)
Every moment I’m awake (Take EVERY thought captive, Lord)
Lord, have Your way in me. (Make me more like Jesus, help me willingly submit to Your will in my life)


Lord, I Believe (repeated several times as a tag)

This is what I believe: (from Beth Moore’s book, Believing God)

1. God is who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.
5. God’s Word is alive and active in me.

Lord, help my unbelief! I want to believe You and You alone!

Glorious worship—responding back to God with all that I am because of who He is.
