Heart of Worship

Went to the service building up to Good Friday tonight. It was not something i planned to go for. But when i arrived, the band played, and i was reminded of a time and place i almost forgot.


A time when i didn't get so stressed about what to say at worship.
A time that i didn't worry if the music got too good.
A time i didn't lose sleep over whether a song would speak to non-christians as much as christians.
A time i didn't debate over whether every word in every song was theologically correct.


Because back then,
we pressured ourselves in writing the best script to say at worship
we wanted to make sure the music was at its best
we lost sleep over choice of songs having an impact on christians and non-christians
we all agreed on the same songs.


Things haven't really changed much. But in trying to keep everything we could the same, we seem to have forgotten the heart of things haven't we?


But you know what's another biggest difference?
Last time, we loved the Lord.
Now... We seem to be losing the we.
