I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
and it's all about You,
it's all about You, Jesus.
I'm sorry LORD for the thing I've made it,
when it's all about You,
all about You, Jesus.
This is the chorus of a song you may know called 'When the Music Fades'. It really struck me lately as I'm dealing with something a bit difficult for me.
You see, the family of leaders for my English-speaking youth group are going back to Australia in a couple of weeks so there will be noone to lead youth. Therefore, my Dad asked the pastor of their church if he would like US to take over their youth, to join it with ours.
I was absolutely completely having a hissy-fit over this as I claimed that 'youth was my release time' and that 'I needed to have some things in English'. But on Saturday night (AT YOUTH!), when I was singing these words, I realised that youth ISN'T about friends, it ISN'T about the language you're speaking; those are just extra bonuses. But you know what it IS about? JESUS. That's what youth is about.
So I need to pray that prayer in the song. 'I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it, when it's all about You, Jesus.' I need to know that church is about God, prayer meetings are about God, youth is about God, and my whole life..should be lived for God!
