Lamentations 3:40-42 “Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven.........”
It’s a hard thing to get past, especially if you’ve been raised in the Church of Christ. You know what I’m talking about - raising your hands when you’re praising God. Is it because we’re still focusing on us and those around us, or has our praise truly left the building and ascended to the throne of God? I know there are several times when I am so appreciative of the love God who gave me through the sacrifice of His Son that I can’t deny just giving my heart but I want to give Him my entire being as I worship my Creator. Even though we don’t make it a practice of lifting hands in our worship, remember to lift your heart. Our hands should just be an extension of our heart. What a cleansing we receive when we confess our sins and He washes us and gives us the privilege of standing before Him. I stand in awe of all that is holy and righteous and I give Him my praise because nothing else matters. I love worship time. Private and corporate. A time to tell the busy world to stop so we can truly give our undivided attention to the one who gave the greatest gift that we could ever receive, Salvation!
ON BENDED KNEE
On bended knee I come
With a humble heart I come
Bowing down before Your holy throne
Lifting holy hands to You
As I pledge my love anew
I worship You in spirit I worship You in truth
Make my life a holy praise unto You
On bended knee I come
With a broken heart I come
Bowing down before Your holy throne
As I look upon Your face
Show Your mercy and Your grace
Change my life, oh Holy Spirit
Make it fresh and ever new
Make my life a holy sacrifice to You
On bended knee we come
With a humble heart we come
Bowing down before Your holy throne
Lifting holy hands to You
As we pledge our love anew
We worship You in spirit We worship You in truth
Make our lives a holy praise unto You
Make our lives a holy praise unto You
