There is a sound. It crackles like lightning and it roars like thunder. It is the sound of worship. It raises the rafters not because it is beautiful, but because it is genuine. It resounds through this plane and the spiritual plane. It breaks down walls and demolishes barriers. It carries us into the holy of holies and it sets us before the maker of the universe. The angels join in on the chorus. Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Who was, and is, and is to come. Worship is not the song we sing, but the life of sacrifice and offering we live. Oh how I fall short. Like David said, my sin is ever before me. Father, let me forget those things that easily weigh me down and let me press into you. You who are Holy. You have all I need. You are loving, and merciful, and faithful. You set up and you tear down, but your grace is always sufficient. In you I can hide. Like a rock cleft out just for me. A place of refuge and hope. When I find you, I can find rest. When I seek you with all I am, you will not hide your face from me. You Lord are good. You are faithful. Your love never fails. You know your plans for me. You are not a man that you can lie. You do not change, but are constant and forever mindful of me. You have written my name in your palm, and have covered me with your grace. You sing over me, and bind me up in your love. You Oh Lord are worthy of all my worship. If you never do another thing for me, what you have done already deserves my worship and thanksgiving for the rest of all time. Let my life reflect your beauty. Let my heart be soft, like warmed clay in the hands of a potter. Let me be pliable and a vessel of honor. When the fire and the tests come, let my devotion magnify your goodness. When the trials of life test me, let me give you all the glory. For you alone are worthy and in my heart I hear this sound.It sounds like rivers, it sounds like wind. It sounds like worship. Let my heart sing. Let my heart cry, dance, weep and shout. Let my life be a living sacrifice to you. I will not hold back. I will not apologize. I will worship you with all I am. With all you have made me to be. Selah.
