Dear God,

She waved her hands before her radiant face.  As we sang she praised with her hands.  As song leader I watched her.  My heart swelled with love as I realized once again how we praise in so many ways.

We praised well this morning, O Lord, not because I lead the singing but because our hearts wanted to praise.  We wanted to lift up our songs of praise.  We wanted to glorify your name.  We wanted to reach the heavens with our devotion.

When we worship you in song, we sing from the deepest part of our selves.  We turn nearly inside out with love.  We feel your song begging to be given expression.  Today we gave it all to you because you give your all to us.

Loving Father,
what gifts
you give us
in worship.
Thank you
for blessing us
so well.
Thank you
for love
that never ends.

Love, Andrea
