I'm caught up
Stuck gazing upon skies and admiring the one who created them
I'm still
Frozen in his presence, unfamiliar yet recognizing this is peace
I'm here
Just laying at feet of Jesus
An on purpose praise for all intentional God
I can't raise my hands without seeing yours
Pierced stained flesh torn
Giving you my tears because you gave me your blood
The sacrifice of your life causes my eyes to flood
My praise isn't based on my season or circumstance
My worship isn't always singing loudly or in dance
Sometimes it's a quiet and broken hallelujah
Sometimes it's a shout
Sometimes it's a cry
But it is always on purpose
I seek his face because he sought mine
I'm giving him back something that I should've given a while ago, my time
This gift, this art, this creativity was always for you
So my praise is on purpose because there is purpose in everything you say and do
I'm sorry when church became social to me, I'm sorry when I cared more about my gift than the one who gave it to me
I'm sorry when I've just gone through the motions I'm sorry when I've held back on my emotions
I'm sorry when I cared more about the list of songs than who I was singing them for
And I'm sorry about the times I cared about serving my ego instead of serving you more
You are intentional therefore so is my praise
He sent who he loved for whom he loves
He was so detailed what he did and what he does
The cost of cross, freedom wasn't free
Now I live for him because he died for me
I crave nothing else
Nothing else will do
How would you repay someone who willingly paid the price for you?
I'm sorry won't satisfy but he accepts it
Thank you doesn't suffice but he never rejects it
Your heart is the measure of how he connects it
Your praise is the level of which you reflect it
I'm not here for blessings because Jesus you don't owe me anything
You don't have to persuade me to press in because of this one thing
One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple
In his presence
Praising him on purpose
