Driving home the other day, listening to some of my favorite worship music, a tune from the 1990’s came on, Christ in Us Be Glorified. I was instantly transported back to a domed stadium filled with over 60,000 people, where I first heard this song live. The bridge is the best part:
🎶 ”In every song we sing, in the praises that we bring, let Christ be glorified. In the service that we give, and the lives that we live, let Christ be glorified.” 🎶
The chorus was supposed to come next, but it didn’t; right in the middle of the song, another worship chorus started. This one was also a familiar one, from the 1980’s:
🎶 “Change my heart, oh God. Make it ever true. Change my heart, oh God. May I be like You.” 🎶
The Holy Spirit’s message was clear: God is glorified when our hearts are changed, as we’re conformed to the image of his Son (Romans 8:29).
The truest worship of the Lord is found in repentance. It’s realizing who we are, who God is, and recognizing the difference.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 51:17 (NIV)
Kind reader, are we open to be broken? Are you and I willing to be made like Christ, no matter what it takes?
May our response be found in the words of another great worship chorus from the 1980s:
🎶 When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart I’ll agree, and my answer will be yes, Lord, yes.🎶
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
