Just watched this very powerful song story from Hillsong Australia. What makes this song powerful is it’s backed by a life of desperate faith in an all-sufficient Savior. Lyrics cannot just be lyrics. Lyrics must be lived. It’s hard to hold the tears back on this one.

I’ve been listening to this guy quite a bit over the past couple weeks. I’m impressed with his musical ability, adventurous sound, and intimate lyrics. Epic, gripping, and inspiring. It’s a great worship experience from start to finish. You can check out his music here.
What is primary about worship?
This past Thursday night, we had a great discussion as a worship team. I posed the question, what is primary and what is supporting about what we call worship in the church today? Think about it…we do a lot of things. We arrange music. We create music with lots of instruments. We enjoy being creative. We sing. We jump. On a more serious note, we witness miracles due to the presence of God in our midst: healings, salvations, deliverances. We involve a lot of people in this process every week in corporate worship. We came to this conclusion: what is primary about worship is the glory of God [God being cherished in the hearts of His people]. Everything else is not just secondary, but supporting. All other aspects of worship must be supportive of our primary goal to glorify God.
Do you agree?
