Thoughts on Worship

1. Is there a whisper of frustration
   Within the church body?
   Just a little desperation
   Or is it only me?
   Who feels we’ve lost it somewhere
   We might be a little OTT?
2. If it’s not Hillsongs then it’s Vineyard
   We practise these week-in, week-out
   Is the Holy Spirit struggling
   To be heard above the shout
   And the clamour of our programmes
   Or have we drowned Him out?
3. The world sees us happy-clappy
   Outside are we really real?
   Have we truly met with Jesus?
   And gone beyond the veil?
   Or are we flowing along, singing every new song
   No real change in our lives, no wind in our sail
4. What’s happened to discernment
   There’s a good ‘old-fashioned’ word
   But I haven’t heard it lately
   Many more have never heard!
   I feel God’s heart – long for repentance
   Let’s get real before the Lord!
5. Now we “cater for all ages”
   “Excellence at every turn”!
   Where’s the balance in our worship?
   Many for a hymn would yearn!
   We seek to “impact nations”
   Yet we’ve so much to learn!
   We’ll give account to Almighty God!
   & it’s so close to Christ’s return.
