Words

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us.
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against. - Our God

But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy
Like we're dancing now - I Could Sing of Your Love Forever

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you. - I Will Follow

All amazing lyrics from some pretty awesome songs. I'm sure many of you have sung these words more than a few times. I have probably sung them hundreds of times myself. The reason I chose these three songs is simply that I've sung them in worship within the last couple of weeks. There are probably hundreds of other worship songs that would have fit the purpose just as well. So what is that purpose? While singing these words, a question has come to mind; How often do we sing these words without paying any attention to what we're saying?

Do we really believe the words we sing? I'd have to say no. We'll look at the three examples I used. For starters, think about the last time you sang I Could Sing of Your Love Forever. Were you dancing? Or were you little more than a statue? And if we were to truly believe the lyrics of Our God and I will follow, our world would be a vastly different place. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure God enjoys it when we sing. I just think that we need to pay more attention to the words we are singing. We need to be more intentional about living the words we sing. What would your life look like if you really believed that no one could ever stand against us, since we have God on our side? Where is God going that you need to go? Where will you stay? Move?

Whom are you meant to love? How are you meant to serve? And lastly, are you really willing to follow God even if it costs you your life? 

Now it's up to you. You can go on, living life like a statue, or you can really try to live the words you sing in worship.
