Timing

Interesting, while I was blogging about my frustration, someone else was sending me a message... about my blogging.

Telling me I "help other's daily"

I started to cry. As I remembered a song that I heard shortly after starting at my church several years ago. See, I thought I was going into worship ministries when I was younger ...then I got sick and lost my voice. I thought, I had nothing left to offer God. If I couldn't sing, and my ministry was worship ..what was left ?

I started at this wonderful church and then realized I had it wrong ... my voice wasn't the ministry, just a vehicle. We sang the following song one morning as I realize I'd made my gift of ministry so much more than God had ever intended it to be

Matt Redman

When the music fades
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
And 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
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

It's not about how good my voice is, but how much I believe in what we're doing as a choir ... it's about the message. It's about supporting our worship minister. It's more than the song. It's more than my voice.

I'm sorry Lord, for the thing I made it. You know I'm weak, and I do know it's all about you. I'm coming back to the heart of worship.
