The Heart And Art Of Worshipping God
The Heart And Art Of Worshipping God
2 Chronicles 1:6; 7:1-4.
The heart of worship refers to the centerpiece of our worship and the art of worship depicts our attitude
and alignment for acceptable worship. We must have a cogent understanding of these vital components of
worshipping and offering our sacrifices of praises to God both privately and publicly in the congregation of
the saints.
Many of our worship sessions and praise fiestas today are riddled with fleshly and emotional motifs that
only serve our pleasure and entertain our mind in temporal euphorious engagement. This does not rule
out the fact that God loves worship neither does He have more inclination towards solemnly designed
gatherings (Psalm 100:1-5). Rather, the prime purpose of our worship is in the lifetime submission of our
hearts as a continuous fragrance of praise and a purified habitat for the presence of God- John 4:23.
From the key text of this outline, we see Solomon offer sacrifice on a particular “bronze altar before the
Lord, which was at the Tabernacle of meeting in Gibeon”. This altar was the altar fashioned by Bazaleel
(Exodus 38) and consecrated for worship since the time of Moses many years before then. Our heart must
remain a continuous, consecrated, and sacred platform for the praise of God to dwell.
Furthermore, our aptitude and alignment to the present required “offerings” of God add the much-needed
savor of attraction of God’s presence and response- Psalm 51:17. His requirements vary from person to
person and distinctly differ in different seasons or situations: it may be the breaking of the Alabaster box
(Mark 14:3); or the sacrificing of Isaac “whom thou lovest” on the mountain (Genesis 22:2); or to sell all
prized possession of the young rich ruler (Luke 18:22). In whatsoever “shape or size” His demands are,
we must be desirous always to have knowledge of them and be completely willing to shift our position in
alignment to His will.
Meditation
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
Oh, it’s all about You
Oh, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
It’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
