back to basics

sometimes worship and praise erupt out of the joy you feel.
when there's that spontaneous song keeps ringin in your head... and there's this bright hope in your heart... cos you know that you know that God's on your side and nothing can keep you down.

then there are the times where the worship comes first and the joy comes later.

this worship is cos you know in your heart that you're redeemed, cos the work has been finished. even  if circumstances say otherwise. you worship cos you're grateful to have gotten this far even if you can't see the light at the other end. 

you make that choice to jump, to clap, to sing cos god is worth it.. even if that jump is weary and the clapping is halfhearted. and in the midst of tt praise... God floods in and all those cares are lifted off... and you find that joy again... and the song on your lips.

worship is wholehearted surrender.
