Was reading last night about our need, my need, to worship –
to be reminded of my rightful position before a Holy God –
and allowing Him to dictate and replace me back where I’m supposed to be.

Repositioning through worship –
What a wonderful idea,
That as we gaze into His Presence that we’re put where we need to be.
How completely simple.
And then, as if Him being totally worthy of our praise wasn’t a good enough excuse,
He also calls us to come to Him, to lift Him up, because that’s what we need as well –

His glorification becomes our Saving –
Saved from a life of self-promotion and self-consciousness and self, period.

Beautiful Savior,
Who calls me friend.

Unashamed Love
You’re calling me to lay aside the worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind and find a hiding place
Worthy, Worthy

I open up my heart and let my spirit worship Yours
I open up my mouth and let a song of praise come forth
Worthy, You are worthy

Of a child-like faith
And of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a holy life
And of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love
