One thing it makes me realize is just how similar we all are, around the globe. The details may be different, but every human heart is touched by themes like hope, comfort and mercy.

In some of the best worship songs we bring our praises to God - yet at the same time also end up preaching to ourselves.

One of the most encouraging things is to see that so many of these young musicians and worship leaders are really concerned with doing a good job representing the truth of Jesus in their songs, and not just concerned with creative and musical progression.

The revelation of God is the fuel for the fire of our worship
Matt Redman

As we gaze upon the wonders of creations, we look up towards the heights of a God who is merciful in His ways and magnificent in His deeds. The life of worship always points us upwards.

I think it's so important that the church displays what it can look like to be one. Our society can be so fragmented, and there's an opportunity for the worshipping church to give some leadership into that area.

An old pop music producer once said that there are really only four kinds of song a person can write: I love you/I hate you/go away/come back! That's a funny observation.

Who on Earth are we that the awesome King of all eternity would spare a thought in our direction? Why would the God of yesterday, today, and forever- the One who was, is, and is to come- choose to bestow His loving attention upon the likes of us? The God of unspeakable glory is speaking to us in unmistakable words of love and grace.

In heaven we will sing free of all the shame, sickness and sorrow that we encounter in the here and now.

Singing is easy. The proof is always in the living.

Image
I thought a lot about how the way we perceive Jesus affects the way we live, and how expectantly we face our daily lives. If we have a huge and uncompromising view of Him, it'll lead to adventurous and exciting lives of faith.
Matt Redman
Image
The sense of being alone is a huge issue for so many people in this world. As a worshipper of Jesus, there's a very real sense that we are always seen, held and known.

Image
Christian worship must contain both the cross and the crown. Sing of majesty, and sing of mercy.
Matt Redman
Image
Information may inform the mind, but revelation sets a heart on fire.

Image
May I never loose the Wonder, Oh the Wonder of Your Mercy! May I sing Your Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!
Matt Redman
Image
As we begin to face up to the holiness of God, our lives resound with that very same anthem, here and now upon the earth.
Matt Redman
Image
And on that day when my strength is failing the end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing Your praise unending ten thousand years and then forevermore

In the end, worship can never be a performance, something you're pretending or putting on. It's got to be an overflow of your heart...Worship is about getting personal with God, drawing close to God.
