Selfish Praise


As I browse through my music in iTunes, I try to find a song of worship and all I can find are songs that, though christian, only express my needs, wants, complaints, yet none of these are praises to God. How can I call a song worship song, when all the lyrics say is "fill me", "give me", "help me", and not I praise You, You're worthy, Glory to you?

I find myself realizing that these songs express what I feel, but not my adoration to the One that has given me everything. So I have proposed this to myself... I will stop singing about me, and I will start singing about Him.

It is all about Him; instead of asking all the time, let us give something back and praise Him as He deserves to be praised; instead of filling our sanctuary with prayers about us and us alone, let us enter His gates with praise in our hearts... It is all about Him...
