The Heart of Worship - Matt Redman

여름동안 여기저기 돌아 다니고  약 3개월 만에 나의 공간으로 돌아왔다.

오랜만에 잡은 내 기타, 기타 줄이 오래 되어 새 기타줄을 달고

굳어있던 손가락으로 코드를 짚어가며 마음 속에서 울리는 가사를 찾아 찬양을 시작하니

이 찬양을 조용하게 부르고 있는 나를 발견한다.

나의 골방에서 드려지는 찬양과 예배는

그 어디에서 드리는 예배 보다 간절하고 깊다.

기준을 다시 잡는 이 시간.

진리의 다림줄로 다시 내면을 드려다 보다.

¹² When you come to worship me,
    who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony?
¹³ Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts;
    the incense of your offerings disgusts me!
As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath
    and your special days for fasting—
they are all sinful and false.
    I want no more of your pious meetings.

Isaiah 1:12-13 NLT

²³ But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.

The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

²⁴ For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.

John 4:23-24 NLT

The Heart of Worship // Matt Redman

When the music fades
and 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
when it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.
