With everything; a song for a long time I have loved and enjoyed since the first time I heard it. For some reason, I always knew that the song awakened in me a sincere desire to bow before the Lord and worship Him. I always knew that in me there just arose in me the sincere need to acknowledge the greatness of God, to praise Him and just be awed in His presence for I was reminded of just how great He is.
There was a time when confusion set in in me; when the question I had was is not the claim that “I will worship with everything” not a legalistic claim, performance minded and a claim to fulfil something that I just could not and many in time as the song was sung, I would ask myself whether or not I should be singing along to it. This manner of thinking of course I believe being accurate and true because I do not believe it good to sing a song just because it is so called a gospel song; because not all that is sung is true or helpful. For instance, the popular song by “vapostori” entitled “Hakuna zororo pano panyika” I believe does a great disservice to the gospel truth of the rest and peace that comes from Jesus and that the Father intends for us to possess on this earth; the kind of peace Jesus said “I give you peace but not as the world gives” and of which it is also written “Let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God will garrison your hearts in Christ Jesus.” As such, I was confused but last night I had a revelation that has given me peace and that I just want to share because I love the song.
And what He said was this, “There is no other way to worship God, to praise Him or to come to Him except with everything. He is worthy of everything, and it is best for you to come with everything. It is the most appropriate response to God and to worship and to praise with everything.” As such, this revelation I believe has again helped me realise or become even more aware of just how truly great, and worthy and awesome is our God and worthy of the praise. And as we are celebrating Christmas, and enjoying the birth of our Lord Jesus, how much then is it due of us that we worship and praise Him with everything?
I hope you enjoy the song, or at least the words of it as much as I do from the links below.
