One Sunday morning
I was worshipping the Lord
When I heard a tapping
On my heart’s door.
“I see you know the words
To the hymn you’re singing.
I thank you for this worship –
This offering you’re bringing.
You have a beautiful voice.
There’s no doubt that is true.
But do you really know
Who you’re singing to?
You claim to trust my Son
By the words from your mouth,
But what I see on other days
Are pride, fear, and doubt.
Please know what I’m saying
Isn’t designed to condemn.
I seek to shine My light
On your unrepentant sin.
My Son died on the cross
To pay your sin’s price,
And His resurrection
Gave the promise of new life.
That new life was designed
To be free of sin’s chains.
So, why would you choose
To allow these sins to remain?
Forgiveness is life-giving,
But it’s your choice to receive.
You can let go of the burden
And take mine in belief.
You’ll then find new meaning
In the songs you’re singing.
I’ll rejoice in your gratitude
And the worship you’re bringing.
