I WILL WORSHIP!!!

I sat
reserved, controlled, docile
as the worship music filled the air
The people surrounding me
lifted their hearts and hands in praise
Didn't they know others were watching them?
Why did they feel that this uncontrolled,
outward expression was so necessary?
I love Jesus, too, but I don't have to display it openly
It's a private relationship
He knows my heart
He knows I love Him
I'll just leave it at that
and
not appear emotional

The worship finally ended
Nothing
changed in me
There was
no connection
between
Heaven and earth

October 9, 1994
1st day of the Renewal at my church...
As I am prayed for and go down
the surgery begins
GOD, in His Gentleness
cuts away at the callous areas
and begins to open my heart
so He can claim
His Rightful Rule

I didn't notice many changes, at first
Just an overwhelming feeling of His Love and Peace
The next church service I attended; however,
proved the depth of His Work
MY SPIRIT SOARED!!!

My heart and hands were lifted in Praise
to the ONE who set my spirit
FREE
to Love Him with
FULL ABANDON!!!

Every time I heard worship music
my hands would raise
and immediately I would be brought into
HIS PRESENCE!
WHAT ECSTASY!!!
WHAT DIVINE BLISS!!!

I felt, as though,
I was worshipping along with the angels
at the very Throne of GOD!
NOW, this was CHURCH!
Church didn't change
I did!

***
GOD, all I want to do is worship You!!!
This is why I was created!
I want to do it 24 hours a day!
Don't let me sleep - I'll just rest in Your
PRESENCE!
I want so much to give back
to You in worship
ALL the LOVE
that You've given me ---
But You don't take turns!
As I worship ~ You keep pouring out MORE!

But, I RECEIVE IT --- I RECEIVE IT ALL!!!
It will just give me MORE to give back to You!
GOD, let the angels see Your people praising You
Let them see why You left Heaven for fallen man
Maybe then, they will begin to understand
why You thought we were worth it

Thanks for bringing Heaven to earth
Abundance to the heart
Joy to the soul
Total release to the spirit
Life to the body
as I worship You!!!

I WILL WORSHIP YOU!!!
