I am here to worship You.

 I Am Here to Worship You

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

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

I am here to worship You—not out of habit or routine,

But from the overflow of a heart that has seen

Your goodness, Your mercy, Your unfailing grace,

Your love that has met me in every place.

I am here to worship You—not with empty words or hollow praise,

But with a life that seeks to glorify You in all my ways.

I am here to bow before Your throne,

To make Your glory known.

I am here to worship You—in spirit and in truth,

Not with the rituals of my youth,

But with a heart that is honest and pure,

A love that is steadfast and sure.

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

I am here to worship You—with my whole being,

With my heart, my soul, my strength, my seeing.

I worship You for who You are,

My Bright and Morning Star.

I am here to worship You—in the silence and the noise,

In the joy and the sorrows.

I worship You in the valley and the peak,

In the silence and the shriek.

I am here to worship You—because You are worthy,

Because You are holy, because You are mercy.

You are the Lamb who was slain,

The Lion who rose again.

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

I am here to worship You—not just with my lips,

But with my hands, my feet, my fingertips.

I am here to worship You with my whole life,

Through the joy and through the strife.

I am here to worship You—now and forevermore,

From the rising of the sun to the closing of the door.

I am here to worship You—this is my song,

My prayer, my life, my whole life long.

I am here to worship You, Lord.

Receive my praise.

Amen.
