Made to Worship - Chris Tomlin

Hiya!!

I know .. i know .. it's been over a month since my last post. *whew* Feb 07 was a really busy month with CNY and I also had a job change. So ... kinda settled down now. Thank God for His provision and grace!! He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider! Amen!

But through the busy period, my heart was constantly beating in worship to God. Bought Chris Tomlin's latest album "See the morning". Here, I'ld like to introduce a song from that album titled "Made to Worship".

When I first heard the song, the lyrics were just so straight forward and simple. Have a go @ it!

Verse 1:
Before the day, Before the light
Before the world revolved around the sun
God on high, Stepped down into time
And wrote the story of His love for everyone


Pre-chorus:
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember

Chorus:
You and I were made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free
You and I embrace surrender
You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be

Verse2:
All we are, And all we have
Is all a gift from God that we receive
Brought to life, We open up our eyes
To see the majesty and glory of the King

Pre-chorus:
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember

Bridge:
And even the rocks cry out
And even the Heavens shout
At the sound of His holy name
So let every voice sing out
And let every knee bow down
He is worthy of all our praise

If you ever have a friend/relative that asks you what Worship if all about, I think this song really speaks the simple truth that we are (including them!) are made to worship. Remember that kid song "Life without Jesus, is like a doughnut"? Yes, it's just that. There's a God-shaped vaccuum in our hearts that can only be filled by our Creator.

Here is a clip recorded from Passion '06, an annual Praise and Worship Event in US. Check it out! I think Chris Tomlin has been gifted in writting songs that not only put forth truths simply but also songs which the church can sing along to.
