WORSHIP MUSIC

When the fire of true devotion
With one voice our spirit's raise
Lifting high the name of Jesus...
Shouldn't that worship bring Him praise?

Words expressing true repentance
From a broken contrite heart
Can be lost in noisy clamor
If the Spirit's not a part!

Self-exalting worship music
Chanting promises of praise
Is but vain and noisy banter
If our heart is not engaged.

If the Sovereign God Most Holy
Who in flesh paid for our sin
Grants us entrance to His presence
Should we not then honor Him?

Music touches man's emotion
Words prepare the heart to praise
But if noise drowns out its meaning
How can voice in oneness raise?

Worship is the full experience
In each song and Word proclaimed
When our body, soul, and spirit
Are engaged our lives are changed!
