We tried to make the most of one deliciously sunny-warm day
before more rain-days.
Worship, thankfully is NOT weather/whether-dependent!
Come, worship He who instills wonder-worlds within
bud-orbs and seeds
Hope’s Chariot of
morn is borne through starry streets by Mercy’s steads
It sweeps the canvas of the heavens with colours that
steal our breath
Come, worship He who made a way that we may overcome dark
death
Through He who loves us so He gave the best He had; His
only Son
To break the curse of sin and triumph over what Evil had
done
Come, worship He who sets the sea between the borders of
dry land
And moves in high and holy ways that we will never
understand
Come, raise the banner of His praise above Intention’s broken
bars
For even our worst of days are cupped in Hands that wear
love’s scars
Come, worship He who feeds the birds and sees the little
sparrow fall
Who clothes the fields with fairest flowers yet still
loves us most of all
Come, worship He who gives glad reason to get up and try
once more
As from the whirring wheel of seasons streams of countless
blessing pour
Aha! May’s apple-orchards spill pink-popcorn-like kernels
to bloom
Hurrah, the world so long so bare fills like an Artist’s fine
Showroom
Where right before our very eyes His perfect poetry takes
shape
For His Beauty is without guise; it leaves our mouths and
minds agape
Come, worship He who lavishes our lives with more than we
can grasp
And does not leave us comfortless when trouble tries our
feeble clasp
But grants exactly what we need exactly when His wisdom
deems
Where even in the darkest place His light of grace and
goodness streams
Where, on this blue dot in the middle of a myriad of
stars
He who made people in His image knows exactly where we
are
Then come, and worship He who delights in the music of
the soul
From hearts of humble gratitude in hymns, His Majesty extol
For He alone is worthy; by no other name can man be saved
Upon his brow and hands Salvation’s scars of suff’ring
are engraved
Then come and worship He who, when we fail, abides
faithful and true
Where fear can find no foothold for what He has promised
He will do
Come, worship He whose evidence only the greatest fool
disdains
And chooses through blind ignorance to struggle in sin’s
hopeless chain
Come worship He who hates the sin but loved the sinner
unto death
Then worship Him with everything that is instilled with
life and breath
…who threads gold through cold rock and coal deep in the
bed of earth
And fathers mortal’s wordless wonder in the miracle of
birth
Come worship He who through the innocence of children,
teaches us
And who, oft through calamity, breaks through our pride
and reaches us
Who takes the way we are and makes us worthy of Heaven’s
reward
If we believe; then we receive the inheritance of the Lord
So, come and worship He who is without beginning, without
end
The God of all eternity who longs to be our dearest
friend
