quotations about worship

Worship quote

Either we worship something worthy of ourselves, something truly beyond ourselves, an utter mystery of truth and love and beauty, or we find something small and mean and make it our God, usually without the clarity of admitting that to ourselves.

When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.

Worship is the very essence of our relationship with God and involves our entire life. True worship can only come from a heart that is turned towards God -- a heart that is obedient, reverent, and humble and desires that He be exalted.

Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.

POPE BENEDICT XVI

God is to be worshipped with the body as with the mind; for He made both, redeemed both, and will glorify both.

JAMES MONROE

attributed, Day's Collacon


Worship does not train and develop people for ministry; it expresses the heart-felt awe of those trained and developed as disciples. Worship is the result of God's working in us, not the cause.

God likes worship. The Old Testament such as Nehemiah is full of Scriptures where people were assigned to sing to the Lord. The singers in Nehemiah made their living from worshipping God. My friends who make a living from leading worship have invested thousands of dollars out of their own pocket and hundreds of volunteer hours in training to lead worship. I don't understand why we will pay top dollar for a doctor or an accountant but we don't want to recognize or reward a gifted singer or musician who loves God. This is pure idiocy.
