Worship the King

I was walking home from walking Ashley home, and I'm glad I did, because I was all like praising God without really realizing it, and I was just singing some songs that came from my heart,

One was about taking a step out in faith, the other was about evanglism, and the one that I liked the most out of random singing, was about the true heart of worship. When I sing worship songs, I always feel oblegated to sing along, but when I truely hear the words speak to me, I try to remain silent, to show God that my worship is not in my singing but in my heart. Where is should be, we bring God pleasure through our worship, but I often think that were too focused on singing good, to really look at the words of a song and see what God's lays on our hearts.

Well anyway, I decided to write down the lyrics, and record the tune of it, but the tune I'm keeping for myself so I don't forget the tune, but anyway, you guys can read these lyrics because I they refocused my heart on true worship, and I think sharing them might help ours in general.



Is your worship from the heart?
Or do you sing these words to fit the crowd?
Where is your heart?
Does your worship bring pleasure to the king?
Let me tell you,

Worship is for the Master,
bring your praise
your honest praise to him,
Worship is for the Master,
bring your praise
your honest praise to him,
Worship the King(x4)

These words I sing are not a farce,
I sing them straight from the depths of my heart,
I live my life to bring your praiseI will honour and worship you all my days

Worship is for the Master,
bring your praiseyour honest praise to him,
Worship is for the Master,
bring your praiseyour honest praise to him,
Worship the King(x4)

Take this time, to STOP,
access your heart,
Stop your singing and start your searching,
to bring your praise,your honest praise to him,
Stop your singing and start your searching,
to bring your praise,your honest praise to him,

Is your worship true?
Is it for your God?
Do you sing from your heart?
Just cry out,
Worship is for the Master,
bring your praise
your honest praise to him,
Worship is for the Master,
bring your praise
your honest praise to him,
Worship the King.


Well anyway, I know I'm not a very good song writer, but then again, if I cared about the quality of my song, instead of the quality of my heart while singing, I would've learned nothing from my own song.
