I worship you.

 I Worship You

A Reflection on John 4:24, Psalm 95:6, and Revelation 4:11

I worship You—not with empty, practiced phrase,

Not with lips that move while my heart is wandering other ways.

Not with ritual, not with performance, not with a show for human eyes,

But in the hidden place where only You can realize

The deepest longing of my soul—the need to know Your face,

To kneel before Your holiness and rest within Your grace.

God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

I worship You—with all that I am,

With every breath, with every "I am."

My hands are lifted, my heart is bowed,

My voice is raised, my spirit is awed.

I worship You for who You are—

My Morning Star, my Shelter, my Scar.

You are the Lamb who was slain,

The Lion who rose and will come again.

“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things.” (Revelation 4:11)

I worship You—not for what You give,

But for the life You died for me to live.

I worship You in the silence and the song,

When I am weak and when I am strong.

So I lay my life before Your throne,

Not with perfection, but with a heart that is Your own.

I worship You—today, tomorrow, always,

For You are worthy of all my praise.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. (Psalm 95:6)

Amen.
