Who do you worship?

“Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten the God who fathered you.”  - Deuteronomy 32:18

Who do you worship
when you come
to the altar

I hold Life
I hold Love
in the palm
of My hand

My Son
your Savior
Jesus
is He
offered
Jesus
is He
you take

Who do you worship
when you come
to the altar

Do you
worship
He
whose offering
you hear
Do you sit at His feet
and listen
or
Do you worship another?
Do you look and not see
Do you hear and not comprehend
Do you run with the wind
as the path of Life
and of Love
is taken from you
and any possible grasp of
knowing the Lord
with all your heart
is snuffed out
by the world’s pull.

Do you worship
He
whose offering
you receive
with joy
and excitement
or
do you worship another
convinced commitment
does not belong
in the face of temptation

Do you worship
 He
whose offering
provides wisdom
or 
do you believe you, already wise
cannot be bothered.

You do not grow in the way of Christ,
for the cares and riches and pleasures
of the world take precedence.

Do you worship 
He
whose offering
comes to you
and you hear
and you listen
and you are attentive
and you understand
and you are obedient
and you grow
with knowledge
and wisdom
and are filled with Life
New Life
and Love
His Love
My Love


Do you worship
He
who is offered
The Son of God - our Rock 

Given for you
Taken for you
your life, your soul
Do you worship Him?
