Quotable Tuesday – A Puritan Prayer

Jason Petermann — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:00:26 +0000

I purchased Carlos Whittaker’s CD this holiday weekend after hearing just a clip of one song on a podcast I was listening to. The song is titled, “We Will Worship You” and is based on a Puritan prayer. The words are disturbing at best, which make it so very hard to comprehend that it is actually from a prayer. Read them. Meditate on them. Ask yourself if it is something you could, or should pray.

“Save us from these comforts,

Break us of our need for the familiar

Spare us any joy that’s not of You,

And we will worship You”

You can get his CD here at iTunes.

Glory to God Forever

“Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God, Forever”

I love this song by Steve Fee and Vicki Beeching! It expresses the desire and longing I have in my life to bring glory to God no matter what I am doing and no matter what the circumstances are. As I sit here and think about the simple chorus, I am reminded that God will get the glory no matter what. His plan and purpose will be accomplished in my life, in my family, in my church and in this world. If we do not give Him what He deserves, the very rocks will!

This will be the last song I lead this coming Sunday as I close out my time at Glenville Church because it declares the message I want people to remember:

“Take my life and let it be
All for you and for your glory
Take my life and let it be yours”

If you do not have this song yet, get it here at iTunes.
