Testimony 11/09/05: Let My Words Be Few

Do you make it long? Do you make it loud? Or “pretty”? I mean… as you worship God, do you make it “grand”? Does your chest inflate with pride? Does your heart ask if the person next to you hear your beautiful voice? Or if the congregation notices how skilled your fingers slide through those strings on the guitar you played? Or if the guy behind you sees how heavily highlighted is your Bible?

My heart was so touched as my church sang Heart of Worship last week. “I’m sorry, Lord, for the things I’ve made it,” the song says. Too many times I tried to make “it” indeed. Too many times it is about me, not about Jesus.

As the song played, I came before the Lord, humbled by His grace. I came bare before Him, amazed. It is by His grace I could come to Him. It is all by His grace I may bow and worship Him, not by the way I made it loud, or long or pretty. Praise God for His brand new mercies every morning! Amen!

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth
So I’ll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with you

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I’ll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with you

And I stand in awe of You
And I stand in awe of You
And I’ll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with you
