This past week I’ve been feeling especially heavy laden, what with all of the talk of the U.S. government wanting to bail out financial institutions to the tune of $700 billion, money that will come from taxpayers wallets and impact the next generation or two. To say that I wasn’t steamed by these events is an understatement; I went so far as to call my Congressional representative to share my thoughts (politely) about this package.

But, these are temporal matters, events that can easily distract us from what is most important in our life, namely worshiping our King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Inasmuch as I don’t believe Christians should be entirely divorced from this world (in it, not of it), we must have our eyes on God who will see us through every aspect of our lives, including when people in authority are not seeking our good.

To that end, I want to pass along to you a song that you probably already heard, but is worth sharing, singing along with, and enjoying — You’re Worthy Of My Praise. Be blessed!

And I will give
You all my worship
I will give
You all my praise
You alone
I long to worship
You alone
Are worthy of my praise
(I will worship)
I will worship (I will worship)
With all of my heart (With all of my heart)
And I will praise You (I will praise You)
With all of my strength (With all my strength)
And I will seek You (I will seek You)
All of my days (All of my days)
Oh, and I will follow (I will follow)
Follow all of Your ways (All Your ways)
(Cry out to God)
I will give
You all my worship
I will give
You all my praise
You alone
I long to worship
You alone
Are worthy of my praise
(I will bow down)
I will bow down (I will bow down)
And hail You as King (Hail You as King)
Oh, and I will serve You (I will serve You)
I’ll give You everything (I’ll give You everything)
Oh, and I will lift up (I will lift up)
My eyes to Your throne (My eyes to Your throne)
Oh, and I will trust You (I will trust You)
Oh, I will trust You alone (I’ll trust You alone)
