Is It About Jesus?

     Sunday we sang one of my favorite songs, 'Heart of Worship'.  In case you don't know the words; here is the chorus:

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

     I think God spoke to me as we sang those words and I am passing the hit on to you! We often say we want to keep the right spirit in our Christmas but about this time in the season, things start getting crazy.  Then we start getting crazy!  Let's think of this song in regards to Christmas.  Here is the complete song with my thoughts included:

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
(When all the Christmas songs are sung and all the gifts are opened)
And I simply come
(And I simply sit remembering it is your birthday)
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
(What am I giving to you who I am suppose to be celebrating?)
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
(It is more than all the words in the Christmas songs)
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
(Do I mean the words to the songs? What I have to give you is the adoration of my heart . . .but it has to be real because you know my heart and I can't hide anything)
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
(Jesus, my Christmas needs to be all about you!)
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
(I am sorry for all the other things I make Christmas)
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
(You truly are the reason for the season)
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
(You are everything, you deserve everything)
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
(Anything I could give you is not worthy, but I can give you me!)
I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
Its all about you
Jesus

 Is it all about Jesus?

Everything comes from him; everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes. Place Your Life Before God.
Romans 11:36
