Worthwhile Worship

It isn't impossible
To worship amiss.
A flawed understanding
Can lead one to this.

Worship has to respond
To God's revelation.
It's not to be based
On mere speculation.

True worship is not
Just music and song...
Whether one style is right
Or the other is wrong.

It emulates from a spirit
In total surrender...
In gratitude greater
Than music can render!

We can't limit praise
To our own expectation...
Cannot worship God
By sheer obligation.

True worship is not
Just a ritual of sorts.
Ceremonies can't court
A discerner of hearts!

No secret formula
Has ever been used.
It's a personal thing!
It is Spirit infused!

Worthwhile worship
Is never uncouth.
We're commanded to worship
In spirit and truth.

It is not a religion
It's a relationship to
The God of all ages
To whom worship is due.

Lovingly Presented,

"But the hour cometh, and
now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship Him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship
Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth."
John 4:23-24

"Give unto the Lord the glory due unto
His name, worship the Lord in the beauty
of holiness."
Psalm 29:2
