I have been reading a Bible study book on justice and mercy. The lyrics of this song was quoted for reflecting what we meant by worship nowadays. Do we worship to get a good "feeling" of "being spiritual"? What do we mean by worship? Are we worshipping God or worshipping the worship itself??
This song is originally written in Sri Lanka. "Worship and work must be one." We are committed to serve humanity and seek a just and healing society.
(Biblical references: Isaiah 1:10-17,, Amos 5:21-24, Micah 6:1-8)
Lyrics:
Worship the Lord!
Praise the Creator, the Spirit, the Son,
raising our hands
in devotion to God who is one!
Raising our hands as a sign of rejoicing,
and with our lips our togetherness voicing,
giving ourselves to a life of creativeness,
worship and work must be one.
Worship the Lord…
Praying and training that we be a blessing,
and by our handiwork daily confessing:
we are committed to serving humanity,
worship and work must be one.
Worship the Lord…
Called to be partners with God in creation,
looking to Christ for each day’s inspiration,
we must be ready for risk and for sacrifice,
worship and work must be one.
Worship the Lord…
Bringing the bread and the wine to the table,
asking that we may be led and enabled,
truly united to build new communities,
worship and work must be one.
Worship the Lord…
Now in response to the life you are giving,
help us, Creator, to offer our living,
seeking a just and a healing society,
worship and work must be one.
Worship the Lord…
Listen to the song here.
