I Will Worship You with All My Soul
A Reflection on Psalm 103:1, Mark 12:30, and John 4:24
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! (Psalm 103:1)
I will worship You with all my soul—not with a divided heart,
Not with a mind that wanders, not with a life that's torn apart.
I will worship You with every fiber of my being,
With every thought, with every seeing.
With all my soul—the deepest part of me,
The seat of my emotions, my identity.
I lay it at Your feet, I give it to You,
I trust You to make it pure and true.
I will worship You—in the morning when I rise,
In the quiet before the day's demands and cries.
In the noontide, when the battle presses hard,
In the evening, when I lower my guard.
I will worship You—with my voice, with my hands,
With my feet, with my plans.
I will worship You with my whole life,
Through the joy and through the strife.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. (Mark 12:30)
With all my soul—not a part, but the whole,
The passion, the purpose, the control.
I will worship You with my emotions and my will,
I will trust You to fulfill.
I will worship You in spirit and in truth—
Not with empty words, not with the lies of youth.
But with a heart that is honest and true,
With a life that is lived for You.
God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
I will worship You with all my soul—not just in times of ease,
But in the storms, in the trials, in the mysteries.
I will worship You when the sun is bright,
And when the day turns to night.
So I will worship You—with all that I am,
With all that I have, with all that I plan.
I will worship You with my soul, my strength, my might,
I will worship You in the morning and the night.
I will worship You with all my soul—now and forevermore,
From the rising of the sun to the closing of the door.
I will worship You—this is my song,
My prayer, my life, my whole life long.
Amen.
