Come and Fall

I've been writing a lot lately for some reason. Deep inside of me there is this thing, just rising up and creating song, exuding lyrics to be sung to our God. Here's a little old-school type of chorus I've been building around. It came out of a time of singing "Resting" with m wife one night this week.

--------------------------------------
Come and fall, come and fall on us
Hear our call, come and rest on us...
-----------------------------------------------
That's kind of been my cry as of late, that God's Spirit would come down and descend on me like during the day of Pentecost with the disciples. And that's my prayer for our church, well for THE CHURCH as a whole too; God awaken us to your very presence and desire to commune with us in our lives. That's what it's all about, that's the heart beat of every man, woman and child, whether they have found it or not, we all search for the same thing.

Let us search and continue to search that God might come and fall on us, and cover us and lead us to where He is going. Praise Him for He is mighty indeed.

Worship <> Music, but can Music = Worship

Paul Baloche (writer of Open the Eyes of My Heart) writes,

"Worship is not music, but music can be worship. God must love music, because the bible says there's a lot of it in heaven and invites us to come before his presence with singing (Psalm 100:2). ... as a Christian songwriter, especially a worship songwriter, what you do is lead people in expressing their love and worship to the Lord - honoring, adoring and venerating him. You have the holy privilege of putting words into the mouths of God's people - wonderful words that they might not have thought of saying to the Lord before..."

I found this really inspiring to write and to think about our community as I do that. I hope you guys do as well.

Just one more question - if you were at church yesterday (2/4/07), did you sense a bit of a breakthrough in worship? I really did, and I sensed that was happening congregationally, but I can never be certain, so your thoughts are appreciated.
