Adoration
Written By: Brenton Brown
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. – Psalm 134:2
What is adoration? Webster’s dictionary says it is “strong feelings of love or admiration”. Is that all it is? Is it ONLY that? Is our adoration of the Lord just feelings and admiration? That seems a bit short!
For the worshiper, I believe it goes much deeper, as described in this song. It’s about surrender. It’s about giving our lives to our God. It is turning your eyes towards the things of the Lord and not towards the things of the world. It’s our entire life lived as a continual response to The Lamb of God who shed His blood on our behalf. It is choosing to leave our own desires behind and running the race because Jesus is the prize. It is living every day as that living sacrifice, laying down our life to the Truth of His Words.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. – Romans 12:1
Our continual response to the salvation we have received through Christ is in fact our adoration, thanksgiving and praise. Leave the world behind and run into the arms of our ever loving Father. Join with angels and sing of the wonderful love, Jesus, The Lamb of God has for His children.
Bow your hearts, lift your hands in surrender, lift up His name, yield to who He is and SHOUT His praise! Give the Lord your heart and allow Him to lead your life and worship Him! He will receive our Adoration and much, much more.
“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” – Revelation 4:11
We bow our hearts, we lift our hands
we turn our eyes to you again
And we surrender to the truth
that all we need is found in You
Receive our adoration
Jesus Lamb of God
Receive our adoration,
how wonderful you are
We choose to leave it all behind
and turn our eyes towards the prize
The upward call of God in Christ
You have our hearts, Lord take our lives
Every soul you’ve saved sings out
Everything you’ve made resounds
All creation’s standing now
Lifting up your name
We’re joining in the angel’s song
We’re gathered to your ancient throne
Children in our Father’s arms
Shouting out your praise.
